Monday April 28th



Yesterday, my roommates and I went for a walk around the local villages. No matter how many times I see how people live, it is still really hard to wrap my mind around it. I don’t even have the words to describe it.

Lately I have been losing the battle with the bug bites. Even with my mosquito net up, there are a few sneaky ones that manage to weasel through somehow. My arms and legs look like I just got kicked off of "Survivor."

The kids really seem to enjoy being on holiday. The look of anxiety and fear, which was caused by the final exams, has been wiped away and replaced with the look of happiness and relief. They are all out playing and just utterly enjoying themselves.

My bottle of malaria pills is nearly finished and the reality of it is causing so many thoughts to race through my mind. Right now I feel like the kids before final exams. I am ready to be home, but not ready to leave this place. Will I ever see many of these people again? Have I accomplished all that I came to do? My answer: I hope so...
