So Ben came up over the weekend and we spent a couple of days painting a map on the maison de jeune. It went well and is looking pretty good (less the scratches that some kids put in it that I will have to repair). Here is a picture:
Things are going fairly well here. I got a bunch of movies from Ben when he was in Conakry, and so we watched movies at night and painted during the days. I have been keeping busy and so things have been pretty good, though today I seem to be back on the downswing. No real reason though, just the normal cycle of life in Guinea. Some days you are fine and some days you just want to go home.
The next few months promise to be busy, and that is good. Depending on when I help train the new stage that is arriving in December (39 new volunteers!), I will be finished with a bunch of stuff the beginning of December. I think the only thing that will continue on as normal after that point is the girl’s math club, everything else being rather dependent on the university students. If I can get some village savings and loan associations started, those will also continue. Still, that isn’t all bad, as I’d like to use the dry season to do whatever traveling I might, since it is generally unbearably hot in my house.
