Quick Update

I don't have much time today, so here are the main updates...


-This morning has been hectic! EIGHT students at our school were diagnosed with the swine flu in the past two days. Since the virus just reached Africa last month, many people are not aware of the dangers of the flu and the precautions that need to be taken. Thus, the school is going to remain open. We'll see what happens. Until then I'm using copious amounts of hand sanitizer...

-Next Monday I'm going shark cage-diving! There are about 4 girls going from our group going and I've convinced my host brother to join us as well. Apparently it's pretty safe, but I'll admit I'm extremely nervous. I'll let you know how it goes!

-This weekend while driving home our group saw 4 giraffes and 2 zebras on the side of the road! We all went crazy. So exciting!

-I'm still loving my host family. They have been so wonderful to me and have used every waking moment to show me things I haven't yet seen. I literally have been going from morning until night learning, playing, eating, teaching, etc. It has been an amazing (and exhausting!) trip.

-Unfortunately I haven't had enough time to post pictures of my trip yet. I'm still trying to work something out so that you can understand where I am and what my surroundings look like. If nothing else, I'll post all of them when I get home and you can be overwhelmed by the hundreds I've taken :)


I miss everyone like crazy! See you in two weeks!
