We just got internet at our sub offices here, so now I have time to upload pictures.  I posted some on the flickr account, and will try to post more soon…I’ve noticed I haven’t taken much pictures lately, not sure why…but here are some old ones at http://www.flickr.com/photos/7392286@N08/  I think that address will work…much love [...]

hey yall…so i am getting requests that yall back home want to send the kids something, or help them in some way.  well, we planted some trees a few weeks ago.  we planted 23 trees at the primary school…i got pictures of the kids up on my flickr account, so check them out.  we measured [...]

Once again…sorry I have taken so long to write on here.  I wonder if I have lost some of yall’s interest by now?  Anyway, I was thinking the other day, trying to conceptualize this experience…not to name it or anything, because defining it doesn’t change what it has been or will be to me.  But something [...]

So the festival has passed and I am now able to get some rest and relax a bit. Planning was frustrating and slow these past couple months, and in the end, the final day when we had invited the dignitaries ended up being a disappointment. But, it was the first year dignitaries were [...]

6 months into it and I finally posted some pictures. I chose to do them on a flickr account (part of yahoo.com). I don’t think you need an account with yahoo to view them, but if you do, just make one, it’s free. Anyway…I hope yall enjoy, sorry there are so few, [...]

I was invited to watch a couple of the days of their funeral processions here. It was the 2nd and 3rd day of it I believe…I don’t have my notes with me, but the name was something like Kobwaat. I came to the family’s compound in the morning, with a bottle of Apatechi [...]

Time…I usually have a lot of it.  Recently though, things have been moving quite quickly…well, faster than normal anyway.  We are having our Golob Festival here at the begining of March.  We will also have 5,000 students come to visit the site at the end of February.  So we are trying to get everything ready.  [...]

I wanted to post a querry to yall back home about the recent intervention in Somalia.  My only source of information is from the BBC…VOA hasn’t really discussed America’s bombing Somalia last Monday.  This is my exposure and a little of my opinion:  Ethiopia sent troops into Somalia, upon Somalia’s transitional governments request, to help run [...]

My bike…it is my escape.  Lord I love it.  I have my sudo mountains that I live in, and now, with my bike, I can make the hour and a half trek to the White Volta River.  I am set.  I spent last Sunday by the river’s bank, reading my World Religion’s book (thanks Jim), [...]

So the computers and Internet connection here…shotty at best.  In actuallity they aren’t all that bad, but I have tried to upload pictures with snapfish and flickr and on facebook, but it just takes to long and I usually have to try and download a software program that the computer is lacking.  So, no pictures [...]
