SO yes I have been working like a mad woman. I find it interesting that you can never seem to learn enough information on any one subject. Especially sex I had no idea how complicated sex was and all the psychology that goes into the decisions we make and the anatomy and then the gender roles,sexuality, birth control methods, pregnancy planning, safe pregnancies, and after care. And so I am becoming a sex expert for real. And then I am trying to train the rest of the twenty somethings in my youth group so that they can train the like 12-18 year olds in my site. I figure it is better to get sex advice from some one older than it is to get it from a 13 year old when you are a 13 year old you know. It would just add confusion to confusion. So I am changing the goals of my health program so that they make more sense. I work with moms and youth or people my own age or high school. Those are my main population. Then third would be babies. I should take pictures because you all would not believe how many babies actually love me. Still personally do not want my own though I do hear about it on a daily basis. how I shoul dget married and have babies already. It is so true though the more you know about sex the less you want to have it. Lets see still training mama bears about the flu and trying to get important members of the municipality involved in the process. Speaking of municipality so we are in election time and on loud speakers all day long I hear propoganda and songs about who we should vote for and in the night there are caravans of people and cars chanting. Ridiculous I keep waiting for a dance war to break out or soemthing more dramatic. But nothing. Boo.

Well I did in fact get my office. I had my first few patients on Monday. I think at the end of everything I will definitely make a big difference working there. The majority of my work is talking about beliefs that people have about food and sickness. They do not give their kids certain foods for fear that they will get sick. While the reality is the opposite in the majority of the cases. I have renamed my worm Gustavo. Oh I also got a bacterial infection in my intestine. Made me sick and knocked me out for a few days. I have retired from the dance group for a while. Which has given me more time to study nutritional studies and hang out with friends, climb mountains, and relax my body. I am still hopeful that someday I will return. I have spent the last week in training about improved cooking stoves, gardens, breeding of small animals, and latrines. I learned quite a bit which will be helpful in the near future because in October I will be building more improved cook stoves. I vaccinated a duck and deloused bunnies that were covered in lice. As a result I probably have some fleas or something. I learn new things everyday. It was great to bring this guy for my youth group as I think he learned a lot. And he is super interested in helping me with sex education because I guess no one received that information. Then I am still doing these trainings which are still very fun and hopeful. It was great to see the other volunteers and hear what they are up to. There is so much work to get done but I try to keep focused on smaller groups so as to be effective. But I get discouraged that there will not be enough time to do it all. And then I feel pressure from my boss to do more but I do not know if there are enough hours in the day. Seeing as we lack funding and we sometimes lack technical ability or sometimes the people do not show up or are not participative. All of which puts some serious holes in plans. I do my best I wish that she would recognize that. But perhaps she is just the type of person that believes that constantly pushing people will make them better. I think that there should be a balance. Oh well I came back to site today. I will write more soon. Miss yall.
