Vilankulos

This past weekend a bunch of volunteers got together in vilankulos for beach olympics. the teams were central/north vs. south. it was so great to go and hang out with some people that i hadn't seen in forever and just to be a big group. i bolea'd up to vil with 2 friends. we got a ride right away and the car was going farther north so we had a ride all the way...turns out it took us 8+ hours because our average speed was 30k per hour...Finally once we got there we had delivery pizza and went to bed.

The festivities were held on saturday and were so much fun. there was a trophy, a torch and team cheers. the only bad thing about the weekend was the mosquitios...i have so many bites! sunday we bolea'd back to site and made it in much better time then the way up.

this week has been filled with a lot of work and getting things ready. i already feel accomplished at work because one of my suporvisors really liked my ideas for our health center. it was great to see my ideas starting to become real. this week has made me really excited for all the work to come gave me confidence to bring up more ideas that i have. also i finally have had some time to really get my house together. it has been in a state of controled chaos for about a month and a half but because i've had time at site i can actually tackle the projects. one big project on the list is to build 2 shelfs...we'll see if it happens!

i also finished planning for 2 trips i have coming up a music festival in swaziland and the world cup! all in all it was a great week with getting a lot done!
