Found comments

OK - just found all the comments that you guys have left over the last week - (remember I haven't done this blogging thing before..so I just noticed the comments - that is other than the ones that I saw yesterday.)

Kim F - I haven't heard from Maz; sent him an email about the blog; tell him I said Hi.

So it's great to hear from all of you.

A bunch of us just went with our Swahili teacher to meet with a group fo HIV positive women. We heard their stories; it was ..moving. Judi and Kim H - I think you both would have found this quite an experience. We have a couple of nurses in our group. One of them was instrumental in setting this up.

School pretty good today...more on pollution - and trying to finish a project inMary L's \English class - which didn't go quite as I had planned. Which is good because next week I guess I get to teach some earth science stuff to this same great group of "freshmen" (pre-form 1 students)

Tomorrow I am meeting Mary LLekai, one of the teachers at the school in town. There is some sort of Octoberfest going on (I know this sounds strange - but I guess it was the Germans who first colonized this area - I didn't know this before) So anyway there are supposed to be some bands playing - a girls group from Uganda and some others. Oh - and a beer drinking contest; don't worry I won't be participating. :) Should be an "interesting cultural experience"

I just emailed Steve and Joyce. You probably will be hearing from him soon!

I went kayaking by myself last Monday night; water was higher than I thought and had your voice warning me to take it easy:) I did:) I also thought of you this week when Mike and I went for our jog on the camp road; the same one you take the pugs on. U must be missing them! And they must be missing you! I'm sure Mitch will have them spoiled silly by the time you come back:)
