Not sure when this will get posted, but I'm in a rather goofy mood and so much is lost in translation, at least I assume that's why I'm not getting any laughs. Since it's Valentines Day I figured I'd have a candle lit dinner, oh shucks, that's right I do that every night. But seriously, I am going to bake myself some brownies for a treat, although I know they won't come close to your brownies Nancy, thanks again! Side Note: Just the other week, we up in Mokhotlong, had special visitors. Many thanks to the US Ambassador, Robert Nolen, Nancy and entire crew for your visit. Not only did they take the time to give their support and encouragement but Nancy came with treats in hand, they were the best I've ever had! (sorry Mom, you make great goodies too!)
My job update continues to be all silver lining. I've visited other teachers that are very receptive to receiving ideas from my experiences. This was evident when I saw Toota Too(a popular kindergarten dance in the states), can you believe Dr. Jean's music made it all the way to Africa? Of course, thanks to a previous volunteer. That really has me thinking extremely positively on the impact that I have the potential of making. Just imagine all of the fun and crazy teacher traits I can instill upon them.
I also saw the impact I could make when I was in "therapy" at an orphanage. Previous volunteers began this NGO, initially out of their home, where they went out into the community seeking out the most vulnerable of children. They bring in children whom are malnurished and HIV positive. They love, feed, and care for them and after visitations and support, the hope is they'll return to their families. The NGO is called Touching Tiny Lives. It was great to give out some of my love to these little ones, for we didn't have much of a language barrier. Of course, they gave me so much back as well. I will be headed their after this post.
I am very inspired for both Lesotho and my own personal growth! I guess my goofy mood has disapated-that happens here, moods are much like the weather as they change quickly. I'll leave on a funny note of my experience with people speaking English to me and I can't understand my own native tongue.
When nothing makes sense, the world tends to make more sense! Does that make sense???

Is there a way I can send you j pegs?
God love you Denny
Don't worry Denni's Mom, my brownies were judged the best just because Deni probably haden't had any American baked goods in quite awhile! We had such a good visit. Any family members wanting an adventure come to Lesotho and visit Denni!Her new home is spectacular.
