Oh My God!

Well I have been a busy bee. My site is attempting to kill me I think. The constant stress and sweating has resulted in an eight pound weight loss. I can't see it so it is probably just water. But not the less very impressive. I organized a World's AIDS day parade in which about 60 kids frolicked about the streets one dressed as a condom the rest had signs with sweet phrases. I had them all wearing the red ribbon. It was fun but a little too hot. Then I gave a talk about the mechanism of HIV within the body. I got another box of books for the library. I built two improved cooking stoves. Started a community garden and performed dance show at another town's anniversary party. My head is spinning and sometimes I feel incredibly overwhelmed and other times I think that it is very impressive I have made such progress. I realize that some people just want to learn English from me. Which is not a problem but also does not feel like a priority for me either. I am frequently riding around on my bike like a mad woman. I love zeek. Let's see I giggle because the traffic in my town is a combination of sheep, cows, goats, and dogs. People are learning that women are equal to men in strength, construction ability, and management. If I do nothing else I hope to demonstrate this fact. That women can do hard labor or physical things. That not all women need to be treated like we are delicate. I feel my work really happens in the time that I pass with people and the conversations I have. My family is still lovely they keep telling me that I need to slow down and rest. I am in agreement but we all know that my workaholic attitude tends to get the best of me. I joined a dance team and will continue performing with them in the future. I am certainly learning that stage fright is ridiculous. Everyone calls me doll. I suppose dollface has always been a nickname. It appears there are big and exciting things happening in every one's lives. Please keep me updated I love knowing what is going on and celebrating your successes. With love.
