I have tried to post this three times and its not really working for me.....

Almost done with PST, I have to give my first health talk on Monday and then have my language test on Tuesday. So any good thoughts you want to send in your dreams to me on Monday night would be much appreciated.

So I will make this short, I officially swear-in on the 25th then its off to my village of about 600. I will serving the community of Mbinja, about 7000 people. I will be the first volunteer so a lot of my work will be explaining what PC is and what we do. I have a nice house with two rooms, an outdoor kitchen, pit latrine, and bathing shelter. I have pictures but this computer hates me.

I also got to see a lot of traditional dancing over second site visit, including Nyau which is a secret society of men who train in the bush. They wear feathers and twigs, and come out to dance to terrify the kids. Very cool.

New address:
Alexandra Pyan/PCV

More next week...I promise!

Love,
Allie
