So, I realize it’s
been awhile since my last post. Sometimes my life just doesn’t seem interesting
enough to write about for the world to read. For the past couple of weeks I
have been running KAYEC by myself while my counterpart was in the hospital and
recovery from an operation. That was definitely an interesting experience. The
kids have mostly been great, though. They have been planning a fundraising
event to bring in more money for KAYEC. They want to host a movie night and
charge a minimal fee for entrance. I’ll keep you updated on their efforts.
Mostly my days are
actually pretty boring at this point in time. I don’t have any other projects
except KAYEC right now. So I usually just hang out with the kids and help them
with their homework (this week was adding and subtracting decimals). The
highlight has usually been eating dinner with my site mate, Nicole. I would
probably starve to death without her. We have a lot of fun attempting to make Mexican
food with Namibian ingredients. Sometimes we fail. Sometimes we don’t.
Some other random
but interesting things that have happened since my last update:
I got bitten by a
dog.
I did not get rabies
from the dog.
My Ipod was stolen.
My camera was
stolen.
My Kindle was
stolen.
I had my first
stomach virus. And yes, It was awful. I still cannot eat meat. Don’t ask.
My Kindle was
returned with little to no damage. There was a short video and some
notifications that the Elvis songs the kid tried to download could not be
completed.
My camera was returned
(without me ever realizing it was missing and without batteries)
My Ipod was returned
dead with no headphones.
(these things were
all returned thanks to the detective skills of my amazing Namibian counterpart
and the Namibian police department. Chasing of the perp was involved in the
collection of these items. And yes, I did sing the COPS theme song as I ran)
I moved into my new
place. It’s absolutely wonderful. One day I will post pictures, I promise.
Well that’s it for
this post.
Until next time,
Happy Independence
Day America. You are missed.
