Day 145
One of my last meetings with Luso la Manja – so sad! We talked about my plans of selling bags in
the States and we took some great photos.
Beatrice’s daughter was the model for most of my pictures and she was
shy at first but then she started workin’ it and I’m so excited to start
marketing these amazing bags in the States.
When I returned home, I heard a familiar voice at my front door – Ama
Chipalasa is back! She is visiting for
only a few days and she brought with her the kiddos. They are the most adorable children you’ve
ever seen and I miss them every since they moved in December.
Day 146
Mrs. Nkhosi and I have started working on Youth Friendly Health Services
together and it has been incredibly rewarding.
So far we have only 20 or so students who show up but we are working on
increasing the numbers. We planned for
the upcoming year after I have left and she is really excited to take my place
as the leader. It feels good knowing my
work will continue after I leave.
Day 147
Today Cornelius (my Project Coordinator with Peace Corps) came by Dwambazi to tell me that I am being replaced! I am so excited! There are a few things my replacement can
work on and of course Dwambazi is an amazing village to live in. I have always felt supported and my role has
been understood by everyone. It would be
great if Youth Friendly Health Services continued and maybe turned into
camp. Jembe is also looking for about 40
more pit latrines and the HIV Support Groups are working on gardening
projects. It would be fantastic if the
new volunteer could follow up on these as I didn’t get my projects going until
late in the game. Either way, the new
PCV is in for a treat – Dwambazi is great!
Day 148
I found the most amazing market find today: jeans! For about $1.25 and they
fit like a glove, which is rare for someone of my stature. So excited for my Euro Trip in my new jeans!
