It has been a while since my last post! Nothing too new to report. Days are long,
in part because I make them that way. Trying to get some projects going. Right
 now,
I am starting a permagarden at the school/ behind my house. Permagardening is
the way to go. Crop yeilds can be 400% times greater than conventional methods.

Also, the major soda companies recently switched from using glass bottles to
plastic, which is kind of a shame. The plastic generally just gets burned in piles
around
the village and usually everyone ends of breathing some in. Sometimes it
drives me out of my house. Therefor, I am trying to find ways to reuse bottles.
One idea is to make water cisterns while another is to build ramps to school
classrooms for students with disabilities.

Another man in the village and I are also trying to procure funding to start a
class for donkey health and donkey care.

Many ideas going. No real headway yet. But keep at it and I suppose something
good will start to develop.

The American PCV who lived in thisvillage for the last 2 years has left and is
heading back to America. Yet another adjustment. Peace Corps is full of
adjustments.

I am tired and my battery will die soon. I melted the fuse in the voltage
 regulator
box here so I am back to limited computer use. Sorry for bad grammer/
mispellings
.. I will try to do a more indepth post next time... there is some cool stuff
happening that is worth talking about!

Thanks for reading- Jeff
