So I got on the early bus yesterday morning to get up back to my village. The bus was about an hour late getting out of Cotonou, but considering the last three busses I had been on had broken down in some way or another en route I was pretty happy to make it to post without any major incident.
Once I got home I basically dumped my stuff at my house and then went out to find my four girls that are attending camp GLOW this week! (Girls Leading Our World). I hadn't spoken with any of them for a few weeks so it was great to see how excited they are for camp! It's alot like our camp was in Bante, but just on a bigger scale. The camp is overnight and being held at the University of Parakou. Their excitement got me just all the more excited!
So then after chatting with them I had dinner with my health center director and then headed home to basically unpack and then re-pack - I left this morning at 6:30 am to head to Parakou to help set up and get ready for camp! There are volunteers near me bringing girls as well so they will make sure my girls arrive alright when camp starts on Sunday. Today I got a ride from another person in my village to get here to Parakou, which was awesome because it only took like 4 hours and in bush taxis it's usually 6 or 7. Since arriving I've been running around buying supplies and getting to do fun stuff like going into a pharmacy and saying, "I'd like 150 condoms, please, the cheapest ones you have." That's SO good for funny reactions.
So anyway, I was only at post for about 16 hours but it was a really good 16 hours. My house is a mess and I just left it that way, once I am back from camp that is my next big project - clean clean clean and begin to pack!! ACK!!!! yay!
Peace, K
Oh, minor ear pain but I feel great for the most part! Thanks!
