Its now December!

Lets catch you up on November...

Summer Camp
I spent two weeks in Zomba at a summer school run by the Education sector of Peace Corps. Every education volunteer sends a boy and a girl to this camp totaling 90 some odd kids. I went to each the environment tract… I was a liason to all the environment volunteers coming in to teach things to the kids through out the two weeks. We had 23 kids in our tract. We went on a field trip to the botanical gardens and introduced the typical American lunch to the kids (peanut butter and jelly sandwiches).




We gave the kids money to buy trees to plant an orchard. They did a good job choosing!



Every evening we played “all camp” games. For this one I was used to be an example to show the kids how to play! I had to listen to my companion to direct me to a paper ball and then I had to throw it at another blind folded person.


The weekend between the two weeks the kids and only a few staff went to Liwonde National Park. So some of us took a brake and went up Zomba Plateau. Some of us rode horses (the first I’d seen in almost 1 and a half years). After the ride we met up with others just hanging out by the dam that hold Zomba’s drinking water.





We also ran into town from the school often, we wanted to get a picture with all the Christmas decorations!



Here the kids are out planting their trees with Bryan’s help.



Back Home
The puppies are now getting larger and the rains have come and mangoes are still falling! Mangoes everywhere!






We are doing well, we spent Thanksgiving at the Ambassadors home. We had roasted hog and swam in the pool... More pictures to come! Happy Holidays to All!
