T.I.A.
T.I.A. = This is Africa.
I've been hearing this phrase a lot lately. Our daily schedule in the PC changes all the time so we don't know what to expect sometimes. Things happen that are out of your control. But you have to be flexible and remember...T.I.A....
Wow! Time is going by so fast! We find out where we will be living for the next two years on Nov. 21, we take our final exams (written and oral) in Kiswahili in two weeks then we swear in on Nov. 29!
We visited NGOs today and will return to them tomorrow. Basically we're evaluating the needs of NGOs and seeing what we can do to help them achieve their goals. This will be good for our secondary projects when we get to site. My group visited an NGO that helps people living with HIV and AIDS to life the best life they can live. They provide counseling to people with HIV/AIDS, people in the community who do not have HIV/AIDS and to orphans of parents who died from HIV/AIDS.
I've uploaded more pictures so check them out.

Lisa, Thanks for the photos. It is the first time we have seen Jen since she left for Tanzania. She looks good - as do all of you. Stay safe.
