sap sap

Just a quick update today! School started, and I'm teaching the same classes as last year- 6th grade math and 8th grade physics/chemistry, and this past week was wonderful. I really have a good feeling about this year. I feel like I know what I'm doing, the students are excited (yes, I know it's only the first week, but still) and I'm going to have a lot of fun teaching them. And it feels really good to be back in my village doing actual work again.
I only came into town today to pick up a package (and got two!! Thanks Mom and Grandma Gayle!) so I'll head back soon, but I wanted to thank everyone for your interest in the bike tour- it turned out SO well, raising 4500 dollars (ha, of course this french keyboard doesn't have a dollar sign) for Gender Equality projects. Here's a link to the pictures from the tour! I grace several of them.
