Hi from Guinea!
It was recently brought to my attention that a most recent blog entry from almost a year ago entitled ‘Still Alive!’ doesn’t necessarily inspire confidence! Oops! I am, in fact, still as alive as ever! Life in Guinea is rolling, tout doucement, as they say. Am busy getting ready for our annual Girls’ Conference and if you are so inclined to give us a helping hand (well, a helping dollar really), we need your help. Go to https://www.peacecorps.gov/index.cfm?shell=resources.donors.contribute.projDetail&projdesc=675-139 for a project summary and to donate! Also working on starting up a new Village Savings & Loan in a nearby village, helping organize a new tourism association, picking up a lot of trash with the tourism agents, teaching English, trying to make bricks out of sawdust and banana skins to usefor cooking fires instead of wood, reading about the history of Africa since Independence (depressing), training for a half-marathon in October, helping a couple of small business owners get their finances in order, and wondering what’s going to come next! In short, I’m well and utterly thankful to be busy! Sorry for the communication lag… am hatching ideas for a couple more food entries, will keep you updated! See you in 2010!
