Day 3

I am still getting use the fact my house has no power and barely any running water, I am learning to cook by torch light and sometimes having to wash in the river. Am making friends quickly and enjoying myself thoroughly!

Yesterday I sat in on ateachers meeting where they discussed what topics they will be covering this year so hopefully soon I will be able to work something out to do with the children that coincides with what they are learning at school, but hopefully in a new, fun and interesting way.

Today I helped coached a Vollyball lesson and then joined in myself and played against some boys from the village. I have just got back from the river where we had to wash as we had run out of water at home.

Tomorrow I am helping a new friend of mine, Monike, with her college assignment helping improve her english and grammar. In the afternoon she is taking me and some others on a picnic where we will go fishing and then cook what we catch bbq style!!

  1. Sounds like you are having a good time and settling in well now. Not having much running water and no power will be a challenge - at least ur laptop battery lasts a long time....

    All is well here in Cabinda - you may have heard the reports of the shooting of some of the Togolese football team. Terrible. But don't worry about me - we are VERY secure in our compound....

    Love ya

    Dad
