...not sure if i spelled that right, but it means white lady. Whenever kids see me they go "mazunga! hi!" it's really cute. they get so excited and then laugh if I say hi back.
Yesterday I want to a training session sponsored by ACDI/VOCA and USAID on forming community farming groups. It was really interesting, and I feel like I learned a lot. It was exciting finally getting to be a part of something that was talked about in some of my courses. Today I went to a working group meeting on Peace Building & Reconciliation (PB&R) at the UNDP (United Nations Development Program) headquarters. It's basically a group of representatives from NGOs in the area who are doing something related to PB&R. Today's meeting was rather confusing, but hopefully next time it will be better.
Being outside on a clear night is incredible. You can see about a million more stars here than anywhere else I've ever been, and they are so bright. It's beautiful.
The main mode of transportation around here are boda bodas (motorcycles). They're a bit like taxis: you find one, hop on the back, and off you go. They kinda scare me a lot. The roads aren't that great so it's kind of like off-roading on a motorcycle at 30 or 40 mph, dodging potholes and puddles and people and bicycles and other bodas and cars and trucks. It's pretty crazy.
I will try to update every other day or so now that I have regular access to the internet.
