It's been a little over a month now in country. One more month of training and then off to site, on the northwestern-ish part of Burkina, in a valley just a few km from the border of Mali, in Jula nation. My site sounds amazing, and although I have no training-mates living near by, I will have 11 other Peace Corps volunteers living in my neighborhood. My French has progressed and I'm starting to learn Jula, a local language spoken throughout West Africa. I'm going to be working with a young farmer's association, and possibly a women's association and probably the elementary school, I'll be living next to. I'm really looking forward to see what's beyond this Sapone horizon and getting to see more of the country. That's it for now, I have soo much to tell and stories but, not enough time/patience/battery power to tell, but if you write or call and can tell you more stuff.
have a happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving para ti tambien amor.
