work and the weekend

This will be short, quick, and badly written because I dont really have time.

I work at a place called Shaurimoyo, a school. I work in the class for dissabled kids. Some have down's sybndrom, some palsy, ADHD, learning dissabilities, and autism. Ages range form 8 to 14, and I pretty much help them with their work and play sports with them. So far it has been really fun and rewarding.

Friday, they had sports day, where three different classes from different schools came together and had this carnival in a field. It was really cool and the regional head of education for disabled kids (or something like that) was there and gave a speech praising us volunteers extensively which was wierd because we'd been there three days and hadn't really done that much. It was kind of awkward but at the same time pretty cool.

The other day there was seriosuly a blizzard of flying termites. They are as big as dragonflies, and they litterally swarm everywhere. They eventually would fall to the ground, shed their wings and mate. The next day there were wings everywhere.

This past weekend we went to Dar es Salaam for some passover seder. We spent more time on the bus than we did in Dar. Eight hours both ways, and bumpy as hell.

That's it for now. We're going on a safari next weekend. Peace.
