aiza ny kabone?

amber's in madagascar for 27 months

I have been here long enough now to become confused when people in the other hemisphere talk about season changes.  Example: people are talking about wearing sweaters and whatnot and my tan is coming back.

Last post I promised tales of a Malagasy wedding.  Well folks I have failed you.  To summarize, the efficient transportation system here got in my way.  In short I am bummed about this so as soon as I get back to site my new priority will be finding a wedding to crash.

The school year is starting soon! Monday is the first staff meeting where I may find out which classes I am teaching.  Classes start either October 3rd or 10th.  Either way I am looking forward to a routine again.  Come January I will be moving houses/sites.  I applied for a different position in PC Mada and was selected.  To summarize my title come next year will be Peace Corps Volunteer Leader.  The job will take me to Fianarantsoa where I will live at the MEVA (place of hot showers) and work and teach in the city.  I am excited because I will have the opportunity to expand on small projects that have already been started by other volunteers in the area (teacher trainings, clubs etc) and I will get to work with other volunteers on their projects.  Also I will work with Peace Corps staff on Peace Corps things.  Hopefully that all makes sense!  Don’t worry though, I will still see you all again in September 2012.

The picture in this post with the red writing – we had an impromptu English Club meeting today in lieu of the wedding and these are some of the vocabulary words we discussed today.  The other picture – Toni looks good in my sunglasses.
