Not too much has happened since my last post. Language school is well underway. Although I don't realize it, I am learning a lot. Two of my four roomies have birthdays this week- so we had a drive in themed party last night. We borrowed the projector from school and made burgers and homemade fries and had ice cream. It was definitely a treat! :-)

The teacher for the class I have been working with comes in this week, woohoo! That will help the class be a lot more organized and we can get into the swing of things.

We are well into raamadan now. I still do not understand how these people can fast everything including liquids all day long and then feast and stay up all night. I have fasted one day (with liquids) and that was hard. It is so incredibly hot here that it seems like you could not go without liquids. I can see the toll it takes on the children here at school. They come in exhausted each day and some of them fast, others don't. We encourage them to drink water anyways because they play so hard.

I got a package from my mom last week! I was super excited. It had tons of great little foods for me and my roomies :-)

That's all for now. I will have more to write after I have been to a few fatuurs (the big meals they have in the evenings of raamadan to "break the fast")

Until then...
