The first round of the Presidential elections are supposed to be held on Sunday. Wierd day for elections, I think, but it could still change. No news to report, everything is calm here! yay!
Next week we get a reprieve of four days when we can leave post before going back on Standfast (stay at post) for the second round of Presidential elections, or maybe it's the legislative elections, I can't remember, they've changed everything around a few times. I really don't mind standfast at all, I like staying at post and have plenty of work to do here! I think it's a bit easier for me in that I have internet access, though! wah-hoo!! It also hasn't been as hot as it was last year. I keep hoping it will stay cool like this!! By cool, I mean it's been in the mid-90's every day and in the 80s at night. It's been great. Last year during this time we were hitting 105+ on a regular basis and sleeping was much more of a problem. The hot season still technically has almost two months to get ugly, though, so I'll leave it at that!
Next week on our reprieve days I am going to head to Natitingou to take care of a few Spelling Bee details. I've got the PCPP application finished and I am just waiting for Peace Corps to jump through their hoops! I also have to have a form signed by the community official in Natitingou so will do that next week. Then, hopefully, the PCPP (Peace Corps Partnership Program is the funding I am applying for... I think I mentioned this in my last post?) will be posted online and YOU can all donate directly to an awesome project that will impact kids lives in a meaningful way!
Okay, that's all I have to say for now. I have a study group with some girls this afternoon as well as a Spelling Bee practice session. I love it! Last time my girls study group studied for like a half an hour then we went and played soccer. It was fun. Maybe we'll do that again, depending on how hot it gets today....
Peace out. Krissy
