Ok so it is Saturday afternoon here in the great country of Cameroon!! I am mooching internet off of a current volunteer which will actually let me send things...pretty amazing!! So it is the end of week 3 for our stage which means only 7ish weeks left in training. We are so busy in class 6 days a week that it really is flying by! We have classes in French, Cross Culture, Technical Training, and Medical stuff mostly. We took a field trip yesterday to the local health clinic in our tiny village of Bamena which was really interesting. We are having a blast!!
We are currently living with host families to help us assimilate into Cameroonian life! My family is amazing and really patient with me! My parents are both teachers and my mom is also a businesswoman who makes and sells bonbons...yeah who'd a thunk I'd go to Cameroon with Peace Corps and run the risk of gaining weight!! hehe! But yeah host family life is interesting and hard but quite fun as well!!
Anyway I am having a blast! I'm in the happening town of Bangante right now which is where the agro volunteers in our stage live. We got the night off and are going to hang out and have a shindig tonight in celebration of hopefully a Cameroonian win today!! So it looks like its time to try to find the host family house of our agro friends and get ready to throw down for a little while!! I will post again soon...and we just heard the screams meaning the game has begun! Let's go Indominable Lions!! Bon Soir!!
