Well most of the volunteers on Malakula, the island I'll be serving on, all came in this weekend and man oh man has it been crazy! We've cooked burgers with fries (yummers) and we've done what is called a kava crawl (This is where you start at one nakamal and drink a few shell's of kava, walk or truck to another one, then finish the night at another one.) This morning we walked to the saltwater and swam for a few hours even during an intense raining storm, which we then walked home in. It was amazing because for the first time since coming here we felt cold! Now we are sitting around sharing photos and stories about home and our site visits. Later tonight there will be more kava and a great meal again before we head back to our training villages for another 3 weeks of language and cultural training. The nice thing is all the community health people will be together. At our previous one we were separated and only saw each other one day a week.
I feel like some of these things are short BUT hey some news is better then no news right? Well most times. Any way, how are you all doing? I would love to hear from you. (PS hearing from you means letters because it's really the only way here)
Until Next Time
