Today's Update straight from Raegan

 Here is an exerpt from Raegan's email received today...


Soooo things are good except my tummy!!! hurts the MOST when i EAT!! i cant even explain it,.. i have to like hold my stomach and take deep breaths like im having a flippin' baby!! Construction work was hard today but good.  We carry water, mud cement etc on our head!!! We shower with buckets of dirty river water that we go fetch!!  Teaching went good..it's just for an hour so it's nice,,, i do feel super dumb tho cuz i chose to teach the older ones and today's lesson was about adjectives.... do ya think i remember that??? hah so i just had to wing it..we're teaching with some teachers that are doing practicums for college so it's fun. 



We slept  better at the orphange...the orphange was alot nicer for the shower and sleeping because  it was quiet and for there was a  toilet..the food was not good at all - we would  get a pot of yams with a sauce   or a pot of rice with a sauce VERY BORING. BUT THE kids eat the nasty stuff so we are lucky.
 
Yes, we have electricity everywhere so far so that is nice... here at the village we eat good - very good!!! watermelon, oranges, pineapple, good rice, good pasta, good chicken, oatmeal, good eggs (says Riley) I dont eat them!   Toast and pasta salad!! 
 
We were lucky about our bus the other vooluntters had a hot sweaty van crammed with people during the day... ours in the evening had air conditioning.
 
Yes, Riley just crushes the malaria pill in granaola bar or jam.. so he's fine.

Right now I am just sitting in my room with Freida and Missy!!! They are the cooks here -  great cooks!!!!!
