Ok sorry to everyone that I have worried by not posting. I have been getting busy adjusting to things here and finding where everything is. Well the people here are amazing let me say first and foremost. My host mom, Madame Bawa is amazing and reminds me exactly of you know who. She has already told me that from now until the end of days I am her son.
The place I work at with les Talibes is less of a daycare and more of a quick stop infirmary/ I spend my days cleaning wounds, shaving heads because of lice and scabies outbreaks, cleaning daaras, and feeding the kids. The conditions are pretty bad, but it is one of those lesser of the two evils things.
Yesterday I was enjoying a run and I realized how lucky I am to enjoy that simple thing. The people here can not afford to run because it wastes precious energy that the people need to use to go through daily life. That was such a foreign concept for me. I truly am blessed.
The last thing I wanna say real quick is that I have never experienced something as beautiful as last night. I was laying in a sand garden in my house here, looking at so many bright stars, the power was out in Ndiolafene...in my cartier this occurs frequently, and listening to the the last call to prayer from the mosques. Absolutely amazing to say the least, words can not possibly do that moment justice.
