Day 25: Our new village

It has been four days since we first arrived at our new village, Dzebato. Once again, we have been received warmly by everyone!! We have already established a routine of teaching four groups of students in the morning and then meeting with the teachers in the afternoon. Everyone is eager to learn which makes our job much easier!!


The students were really shy around us the first couple of days, but after we walked home with them on Friday they have started to feel much more comfortable around us. They love walking with us and fighting to see who can hold our hands. Hopefully we'll start putting some names to the faces!



Perhaps the best part of Dzebato, besides having a fridge, is Mawse, one of the teachers. She is not only the one who cooks for us but she has become our best friend here. Today, she taught us the true way to do laundry by hand and has become our language teacher as well. She loves to cook for us and her cooking is EXCELLENT!
