Everthing’s going well here. We’ve been in Ouarzazate for 5 days and are getting ready to leave for our next community based training which will be 8 days (apart! ) We’re getting better at the language and can ask/answer simple questions and make short sentences, TashlHeet is hard! It’s a lot different than other languages, but we’re hanging in there. I have become the hotel barber and have cut about 5 people’s hair and since we can’t make money in the PC, I’m paid in chocolate! Not a bad deal. One of the volunteers was a personal trainer so he’s been doing daily workouts on the roof (Billy has nothing on him!) I’ve gone 2 days now and am SORE but it feels good especially after being stuck sitting in a room 8 hours a day. My group learned about different ways to get health messages out including posters, games, paper mache and murals. We got to paint two murals on our hotel roof (I’m not sure why they agreed to that!) But I’ll put a picture on. It was fun and I got a sunburn. It’s been pretty hot the past few days here, so people are thinking it’s going to be a hot summer. I’m hesitant about living in the desert, I’m not sure if I can deal with 150 degrees??? Our staff convinced our hotel restaurant to make American food for us so we’ve had some new additions such as spaghetti, scalloped potatoes mac and cheese and French fries. Each of these has filled me with joy. Hope everybody’s doing well! GW--- send spring break photos! looks like I cant get our photos uploaded...maybe next time!
