Hi everybody!  Thank you all for the b-day wishes and the congrats on PT school.  It's nice to read your messages and know that I'm remembered!  As for Africa, this week was filled with new experiences.  On Monday, I went to Huruma Center alone since Sophia is gone so I had no way to talk to the children.  The plan was for me to teach the computer to the older children but they weren't available for a while so I was stuck with the little kids. Things went ok, we made airplanes and they had a good time.  Then I taught 4 older kids how to use the computer.  We started with the basics--meaning how to turn it on or open a program.  I did that Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and although some of them didn't always show interest or care that I was talking, it went well for the most part.  I figured out ways to talk to the kids or things to do before computer time so I don't think they thought I was too lame! I've also been working at Neemah.  I have been doing something I never thought I would, especially in Africa!  I have been working on a mosaic all week with another guy from the UK.  Neemah is building a new place with a new cafe so we are making huge mosaics, probably 5-6 geet tall by 4 feet wide.  It is a lot of fun and I've spent much more time there than I planned.  Eric and I, plus Jennie in the afternoons, get along really well and have fun to make the best of it so they are definately helping me out!  I didn't go out to the village this week for PT but I observed on Thursday just here in Iringa, the place is right next door.  I'm pretty sure they thought I had some sort of a degree already so I had to clarify that I couldn't actually do anything or practice on anybody!  I am half way through my time here and here are some things about me that have and will continue to change: 1. my quads had better be stronger! (does squating explain enough?) 2. I like to watch soccer- it is the only sport on TV 3. I will cherish every drop of water that comes out of a shower head 4. I eat so many fruits and vegtables that I don't like at home because they are delicioius over here 5. maybe I'll be able to cook when I get home 6. People are so friendly here, the US could use a change 7. After working on the mosaic, I suddenly like art 8. having such a great family is a honor and I will never ever forget that 9. childrens toys are over-rated at home.  here, they use broken china as couches and sticks as people when they are playing house.  it is so cute! 10. i realize even more how much i have and how amazing life is, with or with out all of it Thats all for now, you have the most recent update!  Thats what I'm doing and how I'm doing and I think things will continue to get better. 

Peace and blessings,
Jenny
