Week 2 in Utah

So, this week has flown by. We are doing summer camps for the kids because they are on a three week recess by now. They are absolutely exhausting! We do computer training for the older kids in the afternoon and we've been doing interviews with community members to identify skills in the evening. We also started taking Xitsonga lessons from Deppa this week, I'm a pro already.

Last night we went to an ANC meeting at the high school. I was so pumped to see that most of the room was women and 3 of the 4 leaders were women! The girls can sometimes be MIA in this town so it was great to see them involved.

I went for a run in the freezing cold this morning because the off balance diet I have been eating is starting to get to me. Don't worry I went with my team leader and another intern, I'm not running alone.

There's probably tons that I'm forgetting to tell you but next week is just as crazy as this one and I'll be on the computer again Friday hopefully!

P.S. I did hear about Michael Jackson. We were at the local elementary school for opening session the day it happened and the Prinipal Albert made us have a moment of silence for the "fallen American Hero" (his words not mine). The wierd part is we were just talking about him the night before when we were killing the chicken, the kids here love him!
