I had this nice blog post typed up for you all (okay well it was about halfway done, but already at a page!), but my computer decided to just shut off and not turn back on 
I am so thankful for the community computers here at Tubaniso!
I am not sure why it was difficult for me to write this next post. I guess I don’t know what you all want to hear about because I feel lik so much has happened and it has only been a month. I also kept putting it off because I wanted to spend time in the real world and not miss hanging out with my fellow Trainees and current Volunteers. I also had a good connection Sunday night on Skype and was able to talk with my dad and Stephanie in Lincoln and my mom, Alex, and Luke in Olathe. Yay for technology that works! (The connection was great because I was up at about 1am my time talking to them when I knew there wouldn’t be very many or any people on the Internet.)
A few nights ago we had a bonfire and people brought out a guitar and ukeleles. This is one of my favorite things! All we needed were some s’mores! Some of the songs were original related to things that have happened in the previous stage others were “Home” by Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zeroes and Karen and I sang “Landslide” in front of the group. Thank you to people who brought guitars!
Well, I should probably get some sleep because we are headed to the Malnutrition Center in Bamako tomorrow morning. We will then head back to our host families, but we’ll be back to Tubaniso next week so I’ll have Internet again then. I’ll do my best to update you all then!
Just know that I am loving it so far and I miss you! Hope all is well in your world!
K’an ben sooni!
