Update and new blog

Hi all!  So I've made a new blog with more random stories and information about my work.  Decided I liked the layout of wordpress.com better so check out my blog at http://www.sarahkweber.wordpress.com/

I'm back in Vila for Phase 2 of my PST.  Things are going really well these days.  Over the initial "I live in a tiny village with nothing to do" feeling and now excited about all the projects I want to start.  Training has been chocked full of speakers, resources, and information.  We are on information overload these days with too much to read, too many erronds to run, too many things to do online, and a social scene that is always calling. 

The thing about being a Peace Corps volunteer is you wear many different hats.  For instance, I'm a mentor/assistant to the Village Health Worker, member of the Aid Post Committee, community health educator, community workshop facilitator, grant writer, and health, nutrition, and environmental science teacher at the primary school.  I'm also a french student, English tutor, pet owner, daughter, sister, and soon to be auntie.  And a struggling basketweaver, a chicken hater, a cow chaser, a gardner, a novice cook, and a want-to-be fisherman.





Look closely at his shirt.  It is crazy the kinds of shirts they find here!  They end up with shirts from all over the world, you never know what you'll see on a shirt.
