Dumela! Ke bidiwa Morati

Dumela! (Hello!)
Ke bidiwa Morati (my name is Morati)

Finally, getting this blog thing together...lol

I will do my best to update as I said I would, in a simple way of course!

Well, much to say with little time. Currently, staying in a town/village called Serowe. My PC team consist of 59 trainees, soon to be volunteers! Here in Serowe we each have a homestay family. My homestay mom's name is Olga Bobe. Oh, and she "named" me "Morati" which means "to love." Yah, it sounds nice :)

In Serowe, we will be busy with an intense 8 weeks of training sessions. Monday-Friday and sometimes Saturday from 8-5pm. The training sessions consist of learning the native language Setswana, the culture, and PC development approaches and roles of a volunteer.

Besides the upcoming root canal in a few days, overall, I am doing great. The people are welcoming and have treated me like family. After about a week of showering with a tiny bucket, I would consider myself a pro water deprived shower taker lol still getting use to the small meat portions and extremely large starch portions as well.
