Nothing in Africa is Convenient

So I have been posted for two weeks. My community has very welcoming. I have already met with the women's groups who are ready to start english classes, and the clinic has invited me to teach pre-natal health classes for expectant mothers. However, this time that I know occupy is called community entry - which means I go around and meet people, try to remember names, figure out what resources are available in the village, and try to acclimate to my new life. Thank God for Community Entry. Right now I spend my days trying vain not to get sunburned and being ridiculous. Much of my concern goes into not embarassing myself infront of the villagers- it happens anyway. A lot.
Alright - post in two parts...
