Right now we are finishing up our second month of training and getting ready to find out where we will be living for the next two years. They have our sites assigned and are going to tell us on Oct 13th. Everyone still feels a little underprepared for some of the work, but for the next week and a half we will be concentrating our training on chickens. Yesterday we killed and dissected some chickens to gain a better understanding of what we’ll be working with. The four people in my town also met a family who has some property up on the mountain where we will be giving vaccinations to about 60 chickens this coming week and also helping them to build better chicken coups.
Enough of the serious stuff, right now my little brother, Marvin, is standing behind me playing a fake trumpet to the Rocky theme song. He’s been doing it for ten minutes. I have watched 3 Rocky movies, 2 Rambo movies, 2 Home Alones and Karate Kid in the past 2 months. They are a couple years behind but at least they go for the classics.
The other three volunteers who live in my town and I had to give another charla to 4 classes in the local school about a balanced diet. Wanting it to be fun for the kids we did a skit about astronauts. We all ran into the room with our space uniforms and tinfoil helmets on and told the kids we needed help fueling our ship to make it to the moon. The 4th and 5th grade classes loved the asteroids and aliens we had attacking the ship but the 6th grade class was way too cool for us. It also didn’t help that we went to the wrong classroom and neither the teacher nor the class had any idea why we were there and didn’t bother to tell us until after we finished our 30 minute space skit. Pretty awkward trying to explain yourself when you are wearing tinfoil on your head.
I don’t have much time now but I wanted to share some pictures with you guys too. Took to long to upload them all but I´ll upload some more this week. So here they are…
