Because of the H1N1 scare we cannot go to the schools this week to do HIV/AIDS training. We have to wait ten days from when we arrived for precautionary reasons. So this week we will tour around, help out at the local churches, practice for the HIV/AIDS training and ? Everything is very laid back and go with the flow here with some loose structure.
We have been having a great time and have enjoyed staying with our host families and participating in ministry of the church here. Thanks for all your prayers. God's blessing,

Eric
