This week was really good we went to the hospital and interviewed the nurses about HIV/AIDS. it was really interesting to hear what they thought. Paige and I went with Wilson a local to peoples houses and interviewed them about being HIV positive there stories were so cool we also had a camera crew come with us to film their stories. while we were interviewing one lady she let us hold her baby who was six months old and i bet she only weighed 5 pounds it was so sad she was so malnurished. It was so sad to hear their stories I am so grateful for the standards that i grew up with and knowing what i should and shouldn't do.
Later on friday we went to a secondary school and taught about HIV and AIDS and how to prevent yourself from getting it. That was really fun although i don't do well talking infront of others I enjoyed it. FRIDAY NIGHT WE WENT ON OUR SAFARI!!!!! it was so much fun!!!! It took four hours to get there but was so worth it we saw baboons elephants lions antelope cob giraffe alligators hippos and a ton of different birds. There is this fly called the tsetse fly and they follow your car and when you slow down they come in and bite you and our driver said they give you the sleeping disease... but they hurt when they bite!!! and when you stop the car you have to sit in the car for two minutes until they leave then you can get out and they wont bug you so crazy!!
Well the safari was so fun we had a boat cruise up the nile and the other part of the day we were in the car driving to where the animals were. on the third day we went rhino tracking and got about fifteen feet away from the rhinos.the baby rhino was pretty new and i bet you can't guess what they named it... OBAMA!!!!
MOM I just wanted to tell you that i ate a banana string beans egg plant, and fish. I liked everything except the banana! they are still gross!
I am so grateful for a washer dryer and running water! although taking bucket showers arn't so bad and hand washing clothes is hard i can't wait until i have those modern conviencies back!! Well until next week
WEBALA!!!
