Being sick in Africa is not fun. It makes you really homesick really quickly. I now am starting to really miss the food too. I've actually been dreaming about it, only to wake up to the cold reality of rice and beans again.
I've been pretty sick I guess, something Dr. Patrick (Canadian Dr./Friend of ours over here) has diagnosed as Amoebic Dysentery, which means basically bloody Diarrhea. I feel better now, but the whole process has been pretty draining. He told me to take it easy, so I postponed my adult English class until next week. I'm excited about that to start. I was eating at a restaurant when a the woman next too me after talking with me for a while said my Kiswahili was quite good, and she said she would like to learn English. I said I would like to start an English class for adults, but I don't know where I could teach. She suggested I teach in the back room of the restaurant and then asked how much I would charge for the lessons. I said I wouldn't charge any money, but she told me I had to charge something so we came up with a plan of asking for donations and then donating the money to the orhanage here in Mafinga. So once that gets going I'll feel much better. Anyway, not that much time- they say my school will have internet soon, so hopefully pictures, and longer posts to come.
