August 5, 2007 : How I spent my Saturday

I spent 4 hours today washing 2 weeks worth of laundry in a plastic tub in the front yard with the children and the chickens running around - and the chickens make much less noise than the children.. I expect to become quite sturdy and strong as the weeks progress.

We are just 2 weeks away from the completion of training and we will swear in as bona fide volunteers on August 22. Training is called ‘stage’ (pronounced: stau j) and we all hate it. I know it will be a bit lonely at post the first few weeks but I am looking very forward to settling into my village and getting to know my colleagues and neighbors.

A bientôt et much love – Christine
