Hello! It’s 5:30 a.m. here and I am sitting in my bed at my new home-stay family listening to the sounds of ménage, children getting ready to go to school, and rain pouring down outside. After 5 days of training at the PC headquarters of Cameroon in Yaounde, we have now moved to Bangangte, a town about 3 hours NW. I did not have very many internet options in Yaounde. The drive here was quite pretty, for the geography became increasingly filled with rolling, tall hills. This area of the country contains very lush vegetation and tall trees.
I’m very excited to see a new part of the country and now have more freedoms…well, besides the 6 curfew...that’s a whole other tale. There are about 11 children in my host family (I’m still trying to figure it out) and they seem quite remarkable having children literally spread out through the world in Europe and America studying various subjects and gaining professional degrees. There are still about 4 or 5 children at home, so I’m excited to once again have the opportunity to be an older sister and have siblings to play, gossip and joke with. Last night as I walked into the house there were about 30 people inside singing and dancing for the birth of a new baby in the family. Since I have an affinity for fetes and soirees, this was quite exciting!
Today we start our 11 week intensive training program where I will learn much more about health in Cameroon and work on languages. Here is my cell phone number:
(011) 237-74-83-02-23…..It’s quite fun to have a cell phone again.
Chau tout le monde et beaucoup de bonheur et paix!
