Don't Let the Bed Bugs Bite!

It's around 4a.m. here in Zambia and I'm still awake. I guess my insomnia is back for a night. I'm staying at the house in Choma for a few days because I have bed bug bites on the side of my face, lower back, and legs. It's been an extremly itchy past few days...and gross too. I really can't blame the bed bugs though. I'd bite something as sweet as me too. That's why I can't go outside in the rain...sugar melts.

Anyway, the Southern Province volunteers will be gathering for another gardening workshop next week. Then, our new Country Director will be stopping by to visit us at our huts. It's a great opportunity to finally get to meet him and chat. I'm definitely excited about it.

Well, that's all for now. I'll definitely update if something exciting happens. Luv ya and ttyl!

Back to the future!

Hey Family and Friends, I'm back in Zambia after being in the U.S. for a month, and it was absolutely lovely. I love that place! I truly loved being back home in the midst of my family and friends. I really wanted to get back to Zambia though because I was becoming too comfortable and I could've easily stayed there. But...I didn't! And now I'm back to work.

So, right now I'm working with a Women's group in my village who want to rear chickens. I'm really excited about the prospect of helping them get their small business started.

Well, that's my life right now and I'm loving it. TTYL.
