Language test

  • Aug. 20th, 2007 at 8:22 PM
Today was another day in the Kombo area of The Gambia. We had class all morning then our last language test right before lunch. It was tough as usual but hopefully I passed. If not I don't get to swear in as an official volunteer on Friday =(. That would definitely suck. I'm starting to get really excited to start teaching and for a community secondary project. I'm thinking I want to work with any NGOs that will work with me on a bed net project. It seems that access to bed nets and convincing the people that it's worth it to use one would help drastically decrease the number of deaths from malaria, the number one killer here. Hopefully I'll be able to get something going with that in the next year. I got a package from my mom today and that was great. I also got a letter from her and from Amanda. I miss the people at home so much at times it's pretty rough. But I still know this is what I should be doing and can't wait to make my mark!

Hey Courtney,
We're thinking of you!!! I pray you'll pass your test. You are a good test taker!! Been looking at some of the pics. Maybe we should send you a new camera memory card and you could send yours home. Then we could download them all for you when you get home and post for all to see. Take care of you. School starts tomorrow here. WooHoo! Sending all our love!! Gayle and your sweet dad
