Djuma!

so, we just got to the five star game reserve that we get to spend a night at and I am like giddy with the ridiculousness of this place. It is sooooo nice! I just had the most amazing meal, Dena and I are sharing like our own compound area with an outdoor shower and a little pool, it's crazy.

The hard part is I know the reality that just minutes away there are impoverished living conditions that the tourists that stay here don't even think about. Djuma trucks drive through our village all the time and stop and take pictures of the kids like they are a show or something, it's really frustrating.

Camps are still going on this week along with computers, but instead of interviews in the afternoon we have moved on to monitoring and evaluation of past SMRC projects. This can be really exciting in some cases when projects have taken off and really depressing in others when they have failed.

Overall, everything is still going really well. I want to adopt this 10 yr old girl that hangs out with me at camp everyday, her name is mpfuneko. She is adorable! She can barely say my name because nobody can say my name here so i've tried to get them to call me Nat but somehow it comes out Nata? I'm not really sure how that happened at soccer the other day but I'll answer to whatever works for them.

Safari is at 4!
