Quick Update

Sorry, no Epics today...
I have now sent all of the pictures I have taken to Megan, again she will be able to put up the ones she likes :) Even though I'm at a place with a reasonably fast internet connection, it is still far quicker for me to email them than to upload directly to the blog.

I saw that grandma (Hanks, I'm guessing) was on, so I wanted to just answer her questions quickly. I only have to worry about breakfast at the moment. The family I'm living with/beside, make me lunch and supper, which is always rice with various sauces and toppings on it. The reice isn't really very expensive, but compared to the local foods etc. Its extremely expensive. I don't think most people would spend D100 in a week on food! They don't use potatoes, only rice. No Broccoli, lettuce etc. just rice! I won't start teaching the computer course for about 3 weeks, but I am going to start tutoring children at the school next door to where I'm living (I only found out today there was a school there...). It is a project that Eric (One of the previous volunteers) started, and they want me to pick it up, and then to keep it going with all the volunteers. Basically I'll be doing that full time until the computer classes start. I'm going to be teaching them english and really basic math.

As far as a program for the computer classes, I'm going to be teaching an 'advanced' class, open to student who have already taken the basic - which focuses on using Windows and Microsoft Word. At this point it looks like I'm probably going to be doing a PowerPoint/Excel combo class, stretching out for maybe 4 months. They generally have class for 1 1/2 hours a day, 2 days a week, so it can take a while to cover all of the things that make up how to use a program!

Of course, all of that could change too, it really depends on what the NSA and I decide I am most able to do, and how long we think that will take to do. I chatted with them a little today about it, and they aren't sure yet. We'll see!

Enjoy the up-coming photos!
