Drinking Kava (the national drink)
Our welcome to the training village
Other volunteers our first day at the training village
The first tastes of Kava. As you can tell by our faces, it tastes awful!
My host mama and little sister Jeanet
The house I lived in during training
This is beef being hung from a tree. They were preparing it for a wedding celebration.
My host family got this kitten to eat the mice in the house. He wasn't much of a hunter though.
Our training group sporting the island dresses. Yes, we think they are tacky too.
My host papa and brother Silbia.

Love the pictures and the descriptions of your new life. Your island dress is so funny! Looks like you are enjoying yourself. Keep smiling through all the adjustments. Those first few months in the village can be tough, but I know you are doing great!
