What ive been up to????
All is good here...I have splitting my time between helping out at the Handicaped school, the orphanage and of course the center which is now going to be called...Christian Eagle Center. Im really excited about that. Im still trying to get situated and find some sort of balance and a schedule for myself. It seems that I can help in many areas but the hard thing is getting to these places to meet and discuss the issues and see where we can go from there but little by little things are happening. I would say thats a challenge as it is for many Volunteers, cuz sometimes you just want to get and go and help but the pace is so much slower here. Another challenger for me is that every body that i work with or going to work with have their own jobs and life outside of the center so i dont have a "supervisor" on hand...which has is its perks im not gonna lie but the sometimes its difficult. In other news, working with some of the people from church is really nice. I am helping with the youth club that they have....Tonight we are starting like a poetry night thing so I hope they like it. The HIV/AIDS programs is still in the works but im sure it will pick up soon. The girls club is also going slow but good nonetheless...I feel like although there is a stereotype that says people here do not know much about HIV/AIDS and its completely not true...those kids here know so much and people here in general know about HIV/AIDS...not knowing is not the problem...the problem is that they are still engaging in risky behaviors regardless in the consequences...So the challenge for me is to start something thats not only going to educate but that going to creat some sort of environement...with possibilities and activities that will help with decision making and alternatives recreation activities.
A whole month without the big "D"...thats a blessing if you ask me lol.
...besides that ive just fighting this cold but its all good...i wake up every morning so i cant complain. My heart is good...but i must admit i miss the heck out of my fam and friends...yep and I am admitting in on the worl wide web so now you know lol...Fortunately i am bless to be living with some of the most amazing people in Namibia and the other volunteers are also just as great so when im missing yall...they help me feel better but no worries guys i dint replace you.
Some things i miss...
-Haitian food lol
-Hearing Cebastien laugh
-Chloe asking me to play hide and seek
-Nini cursing me out
-my room in broward hall
-crazy haitian friends and G-ville
-crazy sister forcing me to watch re-run of Grey's Anatomy
