return

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.
