Bet you weren´t expecting this!

Hello all, we decided to drop into Moyo in the middle of the week just to switch things up a bit...and restock our fruit supply. There´s not much to update since last time except our english classes are getting bigger and bigger. It is so great. The only hard thing is deciphering which students to teach what because now we have a big range of ability. It is good though, last night we had over 30 students so we broke it into three groups and Caleb, Starla and I each took one. I think they all went well. Today we had a lot of kids in the afternoon as well so we´ll see how tonight goes. We may have to start getting help from other volunteers.
Other volunteers...yeah there´s a group of med students from New York here now. They´re pretty awesome and they have their own research projects so we´re mostly doing the same thing as we were before. There is another group coming from Chicago this month sometime so Starla and I may have to move into a house of girls then they´d put the boys in our current house with Caleb. We´ll see...
Yeah life is good. We´re starting our physiology/nutrition program next week in the PE classes. I don´t remember if I´ve posted about the doctor leaving on this blog, but yeah the original nutrition program plan was under a doctor who decided to go to Spain for five years and she left last week. I´m working on developing a new one, something with a vaso de leche plan they already have. Again...we´ll see.
As always I´ll keep you updated. Life is great, our classes are really moving and people are actually learning, yay! Ok, love to all. Stay sweet.
