My computer officially died Friday March 23 at approximately 7:30 Pm. Efforts to resuscitate it have thus far failed. But I'm hoping I'll be able to retrieve all the files I've lost (I backed up pretty much everything expect for the pictures I've taken while in Zambia). So that sucks. Then I went back to the refugee camp for all of last week. I have some cool shots but I'm having trouble uploading them. Bear with me. This trip was really cool actually. I created this Festival Day where 1000 came to participate. Our GRS trainers graduated 650 children from the program and there was a series of all-star games for the league we run there. This whole celebration was in part a showcase for our donors. So some head honchos from SIDA and IOM (if you don't know the acronyms look em up) were present and really loved it. The program was praised and I momentarily beamed. But seriously the amount of work I put into it and the amount of stress it caused me were substantial(in the best possible way).
Right now I'm running around trying to leave things in their proper order cause Saturday I'm head to South Africa! I'm meeting up with fellow Wesleyanite Pat Garrity in Port Elizabeth and we're road tripping it to Cape Town. Hopefully hiking, wine-touring, and sushi will ensue. I was supposed to go for a week but that turned into 12 days because I'm going to be helping out with the GRS program down there for a three day training session at the end of my stay. Cross-pollination. April for GRS Zambia is packed so my head will be spinning when I get back but fortunately I was never given a job description so anything goes and that's just how we roll here.
