Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Even without classes, Jesse and I stayed busy this November, both in and out of school. Some highlights:

Jesse visited Russell, another Peace Corps volunteer who lives in a very rural site. They went on great hikes and saw this googly-eyed lizard!

I got to spend a week in Namaacha where I met the talented new group of Peace Corps volunteers. I felt competent to be participating as a “teacher” because just a year ago Jesse and I were in the same place for our initial 10-week training. Our host family is doing well and says hi. They know that their photos are floating around America!

We got together with Peace Corps friends to celebrate Thanksgiving, with approximations of all the standards, including stuffed chickens!

Trick-or-Treat!

Happy Halloween! Classes ended on the 31st. We invited students to trick-or-treat at our house and they were great! Here are some photos of their costumes.
The other big news is that we kind of have an English Resource Room now. Here’s a photo of all the wonderful books that finally have a home.
Thank you to everyone who voted and who worked on Barack Obama’s campaign! Everyone I pass gives me a pat on the back and personal congratulations for Obama's victory. Yay Amercia!
The rest of November will be full of different school activities for us like exams, discussing grades and preparing for graduation. We’re thinking of everyone! Thank you for your love and support!
