It’s a bit crazy that 6 months have already passed here in
Hotswana (not a spelling mistake). That’s half a year people! I’ve graduated
from a Botswana baby to a teedling toddler averse in Setswana, cultural norms,
and bucket baths. Though still a bit unsteady on my feet, things are starting
to pick up. If you are a regular of my blog you know that I just spent the last
two weeks of January in the capital city gorging myself on food, chillin’ in
aircon, and drowning in hot showers along with venting, sharing, and
celebrating with my fellow Bots 15’s. The real purpose of us coming all
together, besides mental breaks from village life, was for in-service training
(IST) where we learned technical skills applicable to our sites and preparing
us to start projects. Some training was useful, some, not so much but any
excuse to enjoy buffets and AC is positive in my book! I can’t say that my
return to my village felt like “coming home,” but it was nice to know that
people noticed I was gone and are happy to see me back. My clinic is keeping me
busy with a variety of miscellaneous projects at the moment and things are
looking promising for some activities in the near future.
For now, enjoy this guest post from a fellow Bots 15 on my
favorite part of training, The Kings Foundation!
