update

So we will shortly hit our 6 month mark in country. Feels weird. I am currently at a training in Windhoek, for the next 2 weeks. I'm a bit annoyed about this as it's just training and I think my time would be better spent working on my garden, and being at site. Oh well. My CNA (community needs assessment) is finally completed and my presentation went well. I was going to place it on here, but it's about 20 pages. So Nah. But if you are interested in reading it I am interested in sending it to you. It just goes through all the aspects of my community, from health to education to community groups. It's interesting and I tried to remain objective.

OH! Big news, another volunteer and I are planning a 5k run in order to raise money for vital rehabilitation equipment in Otizondupa (my region as well as hers) such as, wheel chairs and crutches. So if anyone wants to sponsor me, remember 15 USD is 105 Namibian. So more info in a few weeks when we have more concrete plans. We're planning it for Early November. I'll keep you all updated.

Otherwise I'm busy training for my marathon in October, 13.2 Miles. Yikes. I'd like to do it in about 2 hours, but we'll see.

I wish I had more to report, but I'm just bored at reconnect and looking forward to going home to Tsumkwe (I can't believe it actually feels like home now)

Miss you all!
