Well, we’ve made it through community based training and only have 4 days until we’re officially Peace Corps volunteers! On the last day in our CBT villages, we had parties to thank the families and celebrate finishing training. Our parties turned out really well with lots of cookies, fruit and of course; mint tea. There was plenty of dancing as well. For the next few days we’re doing sessions to finalize training and get us ready to head to our sites NEXT WEEK! Next Tuesday is our swearing in ceremony which is in a swanky hotel in Ouarzazate and is a pretty big deal. They even invited our host families to attend. Before we left our host families we each gave them Kentucky picture books which they seemed to be interested in (although the bourbon barrels and civil war reenactment were a bit hard to explain.) My family gave me a purse which is really pretty and was handmade by family members in the village. Ben’s family gave him a bag of almonds to give to me! We were able to present our health lesson on teeth brushing to a group of women and children before we left. We told them which foods were good/bad for your teeth and how to keep your teeth healthy. We made up a song about tooth brushing which went over pretty well with the kids. We’re excited to see what projects will come up in our site! Our language tests are over and we both passed! Far from fluent but getting better. Hope all is well there.
