highlights of this week
--teaching a classroom of 70 girls at a boarding school-we only needed translation for half the time it was neat. these girls are smart. it was the first time they were hearing hiv/sex ed info in a classroom
--going to church with my family. for three hours. sounds painful but it was actually really cool --drums and songs adn old bent-backed mamas dancing in the aisles. i had to stand the introduce myself and give a little speech aha :/. i almost had to lead a church song in english --thank god tumaini was there to save me
--telling an hiv + mama that her child wasnt . she was told hiv tests didnt work for kids
--finding out passion fruit is an actual fruit
--finding my mama in the kitchen shoving pop rocks in her mouth after giving them to liliani for her bday. haha


things that are still bunk
--doing laundry in a bucket? african mamas have the strongest backs
--kids sleeping on glass-they ALL have sphyillis
--ugali- a corn mush-really bland- eaten with whatever.

my african friend Hajii was pissed we had to go teach when ryan ceacrest's top 40 was on. that idiot is heard here to0?!
