Newbies

Last week I had two new volunteers come and visit me in my village for a week. They had never experienced Fouta heat and I think it was a little rough, but it's exactly what they will have to deal with in about a month when they come up North.

We did a lot of reading and sweating, but we also painted a mural and held a causery which was cool because the women in my village really like seeing what my organization is all about.

It was refreshing to have new, excited volunteers that weren't used to the oddities of living in the desert, alone....

Still waiting for the estimate to come through on the well project. But, I will keep everyone updated that is interested.
