More of February...

 This month we celebrated our good friend Hannah's birthday with scones and brownies that exploded while baking.
 We also started our weekend basketball games with the girls in our town. We have aspirations of making this a standing league and are looking for people in town who can help to organize games and keep people interested. We are currently looking for reversible jerseys that the girls can wear for games, so if you have any access to such things, please let me know.
 The town fair came to one of my other communities and just like the fair in the center of town, this one came with a live band and cross dressing dancers. This band had ladies in it who danced and sang and caused quite a scandal in town...I imagine.
 Here is one of many booths selling trinkets and candies.
 We also had our monthly photo shoot with the kids, this time they found our Halloween costumes.
 This last week we also had a 3 day HIV/AIDS workshop. We brought teachers and mentors from our communities to the workshop so that they could then work with us to replicate HIV/AIDS lessons in our towns and schools.
 Here is our neighbor Adela presenting one of the ways that HIV/AIDS cannot be transmitted...hugging.
 Here we are at the Peace Corps training center with Adela and Delia.
 Adela with her Diploma certifying her participation in the course.
 Delia with hers.
