My last week...eek
Monday January 13
A slow and kinda boring day. I made a bracelet, I added up prices for all the products ill be bringing home to sell. I went over to the day care for 5 minutes to see what it was like with the kiddies - cute stuff.
I gave Everlyne the pay pal information, hopefully it will work.
Not an exciting day.
I got locked out of the house when I came home so I went to junction to use the internet and get tree a decaf coffee.
Relaxed the rest of the day. Tuesday is a new day.
Tuesday January 14:
Got to placement and finished collecting all I was planning on buying the to sell in America. I am also collecting products to bring home to a past volunteer of the power women group that left just before I did and she is also from Boston! Too funny.
Two volunteers teach music at a school very close to us and when they have nothing to do, they come hang out with us and bead a little. That was fun to hang out with them because it's one American, one Australian, one Mexican, and one Spaniard.
We finally ate ugali, the same food the women eat everyday. It's made of special flour and water that make it big and quite tasteless so you're supposed to eat it with other food. For example, the ladies eat it with a green veggie, a leafy thing, something that I didn't quite recognize. It was good, nice change of pace from the bananas and potatoes I've been eating.
I've had two debates going through my head.
1. The table
I asked Everlyne substitute needed most and she told me a table for the day care so I thought, great, table is probably easy to make. I could get a few volunteers and we could all pitch in a few bucks and make it! Then I realized that would be more difficult than I thought. So I asked Everlyne how much the table would cost and she said 6000 shillings, about $60+. I have one person that would split the money with me to buy it or have it made, but I don't want to just give them more things. I want them to earn it, but I also want to give them a thank you gift. What to do? What to do?
2. Goodbye party
My last volunteering day is friday and we were thinking of having little party for the women. I'm debating whether I should bring yummy mango and pineapple, as a healthy snack, or bring cake. People are telling me cake, or something different that they don't normally have, but they might not have mango and pineapple normally. What to do? What to do?
