PERMANENT SITE!!!
Hi! I have been posted for the next two years to Nkamazi, a place near Pigg's Peak in the Hhohho region, which is the other side of the country from where we are now. I am super-excited to have someplace to go, and I can't wait for site visits at the end of next week.
We had practice language tests this week, too, which caused fits of nervousness and embarrasment across the board, but our group did pretty well on the whole. But a 15 minute interview in a language you didn't speak three words of a month ago is stressful, even if it's over simple things like the weather and what your parents do.
We have The Worst Flipchart Ever. It is forever falling down and skewing to the side and generally messing up. However, I connected two hoses with a leg from The Worst Flipchart Ever, so it turned out to be useful after all! We were trying to fill a tank on the other side of the yard, and had hoses that wouldn't fit together. After we boiled the ends of the two hose pieces (to expand them) the flipchart leg joined them perfectly! I reckoned it a great success, even at the cost of temporary damage to PC equipment.
Thank you all for commenting! It's very encouraging to hear from you all!

I'm glad to hear you are still being creative and junk over there. Be sure to post again on how your site is, after you get there.
Creative problem-solving for the win! I'm so glad to hear you're doing well.
Stay safe out there man, and glad to hear the creativity is already serving you well!
