We moved to the second city were we will be doing most of our work. There is a prevention program which is just getting started. We will literally be responsible for getting the program started and up and running.
Here it is sweat, 24/7. The only relief from the heat is the rain. It's monsoon season, so there is a lot of it. My rain jacket I bought the day before I left was a good purchase. Thanks, Mom!
We traveled here by train which was an interesting an new experience....
One of my team mates and I were separated from the rest of the group, I slept next to a stranger, and it was extremely hot an loud. I was definitely being stretched.
We finally started our M*WORK! the first day wasn't what I had expected. There was a lot of waiting and a lot of cleaning. DAD still used our efforts, though, because we were working on a building where another team will be staying.
In the mornings, we are mainly working with preschools in the area. Helping, teaching, trying to keep children under control. I love kids!
In the afternoons, we have the opportunity to work with women in several different prevention programs: teaching the women to stitch, bake, make jewelry, tutoring them so they can finish school. I got my first taste of that yesterday with the jewelry making. The women and girls are amazing, and I can't wait to see how DAD is going to keep working.
