The rains are here (only). I guess the rainy season has come a month early this year. Last night it poured and poured. I assume eventually I will be so used to it that I don't even mention the torrent of rain landing on this patch of earth. 

"Another blog update" you say? Yes, I have found myself in Basse once again with a computer at my fingertips.  I came up here to teach the nursery school principal at the orphanage how to use his computer. She ended up having the day off, though we had a meeting scheduled, but it worked out that now I will come in and try to teach basically anyone who wants to learn about computers. Slowly I am becoming an education volunteer. Sorry health program. By staying I ended up taking care of a fellow volunteer who wasn't feeling well and got to watch the new(er) Star Trek movie. I even got to make rehydration drink for the first time. I guess I'm not such a bad health volunteer after all, I mean, he hasn't died.

In other turning my back on my sector news: I am going to meet with the Cluster Monitor(he monitors the schools) for my area in a couple hours to try to figure out a way to get more children from my village to go to school. No one goes! It's not good and hopefully I can figure out some way to get attendance up.

Since the rains one coming every other day or so that means the mosquitos are finding their life mates and are ready to invade everyones space. Ashley and I are trying to put together a net distribution for my village on the 18th.  Logistics aside, it should be a pretty fun day. It will be nice to feel like I'm getting some work done in village.
