Gold is not enough.
I no longer have any clever thoughts to
write about in my blog. Womp.
My life is starting to settle into my
village.
I drank a big glass of buffalo milk
yesterday, as well as a bunch of other shady looking food, and got
major diarrhea today to pay for it.
In-Service Training begins in a few
days. I'm excited to meet up with all the other volunteers in my
group and to catch up on life. Hopefully our conversations won't
revolve too much around our work. It's tiresome having the purpose of
your life being measured on how many trainings you've accomplished.
I've been playing soccer with the
neighborhood kids over the past couple of weeks I've lived here in
Manpur. I bought a soccer ball, but the boys managed to pop it and
lose it within the ball's first two weeks of life. They also popped
their own ball. The boys are very enthusiastic about starting a
soccer league within their community. I'm hopeful I can be of some
help to start up what would be a great program for the kids while
they are not in school. They seem to really love playing soccer, and
I see the difference in their attitude and behavior over boys who
pursue other extracurricular activities, like being a nuisance around
town. I would love to help start a great program for the villagers
and the children. But first, we need to somehow raise money for a
soccer ball. Suggestions?
Shout out back to home: I hope the
snowtrip to Tahoe was a big success for the team. The pictures made
it look heeeellla fun and that cabin looked so big and fancy. When'd
you all get so fancy?? And grown?? Miss you crazy kids berry much.
What's the latest in the music scene
nowadays? I need new music- hollllaaa at me.
With love from the goats of Nepal,
