It's the end of week 1, and I have so much today and only 6 minutes to do it. I moved into my homestay on Monday, with Mama Zawadi and her 3 kids. Her oldest daughter is incredibly smart and motivated to do well and she hopes to move to America one day. Andrew is 7, he is pretty shy but he's a good kid and he's always playing with the other kids in our boma (housing area). Sayuni is 4, and she is just the cutest little girl on earth. She's pretty shy and doesn't say much, but she loves to jump around and chase us. Last night we got her to say "I go to sleep" in english. TOO CUTE! Also, we started teaching on Thursday to a class of 15-18 year olds. They're very rowdy and silly but when we need them to focus, they're very attentive. I'm really looking forward to spending time with them. They already know quite a bit about HIV/AIDS, however it is clear there is still quite a bit of work to be done. Yesterday, our group went to the one heart source site to meet all the kids. They're all very different but very fun to be around. Lastly, today we did an 8 mile waterfall hike which was spectacular and I will be posting pictures when I get back. Welp, 1 minute left, gotta run. I'll try and update you all more next weekend!
