Senegal prides itself on its hospitality and, so far, I have found the Senegalese to be all wonderful people. Everyone at the training center is so nice and the staff really seems to be here to support us all in our service. We had an intro this morning and are now moving on to our first culture session. After that we'll have lunch then more culture and language, I think. I'm not sure what language I'll be learning but hopefully I'll pick it up fast (we go to live in homestays Monday afternoon). The next 9 weeks are pretty much split between the training center and our homestay so we pick up the culture and language. I started my anti-malaria pills yesterday... I'll be on the weekly ones for the next 2 years (every Sunday!) and the daily ones for the next 2 weeks just to build up my resistance. Shots start today with Hep A, Typhoid, Rabis, and probably other things.
So before I left my mom and I were talking about "just in time" and "just in case" people... allof PC training is focused on "just in time" which I'm pretty excited about because it seems to be a good way. Okay! training's about to start! Time for more water too.
It's hot and humid but the breeze is nice.
Best,

Hey K,
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the crazy dreams that come with the Malaria Pills. Glad they, and you, are all about the 'just in time'.
The dogs miss you too.
love
