New Project

So it's been a little while since my last post. But just this week I found out that I can track down free electricity and wireless internet within an hour of travel from Sebetia. Blogging just became a lot easier.
Not a ton to report since my last post. I've been settling in at site and getting used to having some slllooowww days. But my next month promises to be a helluva lot busier. For the past few weeks, I've been helping my clinic put together a proposal for a grant in order to increase our enrollment of children on anti-retroviral treatment (ART). Our idea is to hold events at three extremely remote primary schools, and have the kids test. We've also invited an organization called Kick4Life to come. They'll play games with the kids and teach them about HIV/AIDS while the kids wait to be tested. Considering that we are scheduled to hold the first event on Nov.1, I've got a busy week coming up.
In other news, the upcoming installment of volunteers to Lesotho has been cancelled. And considering the amount of time we've already spent investigating their facebook pages, this is a bummer for volunteers here (and clearly a much bigger bummer for them). If any of yall ever read this post, good luck at your new assignments!

Lazarus Thorac Update: Still no horse. One of my higher-ups remarked that I do quite a bit of walking at my site. Unfortunately, she told me this while the "Pony training camp" was already going on. It may be a while before Laz and I are finally united, but there's still hope.

That's all from here. Khotso!
