We just (just, as in 30 minutes ago) finished the Training Of Trainers (TOT) for our upcoming girls leadership camp. The training was a great success (despite a few "to-be-expected" hiccups which come in organizing an event).
Yesterday was long. I left my house with Lannea, my friend and housemate (for the weekend) at 8:15 yesterday and we came back at 11:00pm, the rest in between was filled with leading training sessions, teaching games and navigating some hot temperatures (our training room was pretty warm).
This week is certain to be busy. I have some projects that I'll start back up on and then this weekend I'll be heading up north to help with a summer camp. Before I know it, July will be in full swing and the summer will be coming to an end. Summer, I'm told, is the busiest season and seems to pass in a blur. In July, my sitemate and I will start a drama club. Ming has a great stage at one of the community parks that we're hoping to use for a "end-of-club" performance.
We're lucky here in Ming because we have swimming. In the summer, many people head to the reservoir for swimming. Our city gets pretty hot (I can attest to this as the nights have been quite warm recently when attempting to sleep) so having somewhere to offer respite from the summer heat will be nice.
Things are good. I miss family and friends in the states for certain, but I'm doing well and am continuing to do work that (I feel) is important.
Oh! Additionally, my counter-part Tural will be heading to America for a few weeks to train on Eco Tourism. This is extremely exciting and he just found out yesterday. Today I'm helping him with his VISA application.
I'll try to be better about posting in the future!
