PCV, The Early Weeks


I’ve been at site now for almost 3 weeks.  While I haven’t solved the HIV/AIDS crisis in country , YET, I have taught a few lifeskills classes, made some progress with my organization, gotten everything except curtains for my new house, made a few friends in village, and can now almost carry an entire bucket of water back to my house without stopping- I’m very proud of this last accomplishment.
Lifeskills has been interesting- so far I’ve taught a lesson on HIV/AIDS, one on stress and anxiety, and one on physical fitness.  The last one was definitely the most fun because it involved three legged races.  The kids, however, thought that stretching was by far the most hilarious thing.
On my plate this week is helping to put together/facilitate a three day workshop for the PLWHA in the community.  We’ll be focusing on lifestyle choices and proper nutrition for the most part.  I am looking forward to putting that part of my training into practice, though!

First snow fall at site!!
