We had a pretty awesome day today, but I am pooped! We had a long day at the hospital and then went to an awesome dance show by group that is apparently internationally known for their performance. It included some AMAZING traditional dances. They involved a lot of butt shaking and stomping on the ground. At the end the women danced with pots balanced on their head (I found a picture online of this. I didn't take it but they we saw them perform this same show). Apparently the dancers in the show are individuals from around the country who have more or less been "saved" by this organization from poverty, war, violence, orphanhood, etc and are allowed to go to college through the proceeds from tickets
Anyways I can't be long on here because we are all waiting to get online, and we need to get to bed so we can pack in the morning for Nkokunjaru. This is the village about 1 to 3 hours away (depending on the condition of the road that day haha) where we will be staying at a convent with nuns and help children in the orphanage. I am super excited about this and have been looking forward to it all week!
As an FYI, don't worry about me when I don't update this for the next week because we will not have any internet access at the convent.
Miss you all a lot! (But I'm not ready to come home yet) :)
