Flashbulbs pt. 2

The borehole in my community where the women fetch water from.
A crazy hair day… The humidity is no joke, although I did just cut my own hair so it’s a little tamer now.
My Peace Corps Cohort at our reconnect conference three months after we left training for site.
View from the reconnect hostel a little south of where my community is.
My freshly cut hair and the curtains that I made for one of the two windows in my room.
Me and my yoga buddy.
One of two new shelves in my room (no longer living out of my suitcases after six months!)
View from my backyard.
My new outfit made out of batik fabric that my friend Adam made for me!
Me and Alfie on an early morning walk before it gets too hot to be outside.

Flashbulbs

I’m currently working on writing several new posts but with school starting and a new puppy time is limited! So in the meantime please enjoy a few photos of how my days generally look!

Alfie waiting patiently for me to finish writing lesson notes ft. One of the herds of cattle which roam my town.
A typical Saturday morning waiting for water to boil for breakfast purposes.
In between classes at school teachers will gather at a small table beneath a large Nim tree and someone always ends up napping on my foot…
My form 2 (approximately 7th or 8th grade) students learning all about elements, compounds, and mixtures!
Students weeding the courtyard of the school house on the first day of school to keep the school looking tip-top!
An old picture of my language group with our wonderful teacher Sana at our swearing in ceremony in August.
One of the many beautiful sunsets (and sunrises) I have been blessed to witness in my time at my site.
A poem my sister had written for me before I left. It lives in my journal and I read it often.
Lastly, a photo taken by a woman from my town as she played around with my phone at market one day. Every week at market I make sure to visit the same ladies and sit with them for a while.
