sorry it has been so long
i know i said i would be going tuesday but i just arrived in Santa in the north west thursday night. the plans for Limbe fell through, they wanted 600 euros for me to volunteer there-no thank you. so we took a 6 hr bus ride to Santa and here i am. the family is very nice and the climat is awsome for me-it is nearly cold! like sweaters and pants cold wow. this is an english speaking place and the people are much different not to mention harder to understand than the french. this is the only internet in this little town so i wont be coming often but i will come as often as possible. i am working at a disability center that takes care of and teaches children with disabilities. alredy from just friday i know a few things in sign language. the center also teaches class 1 teachers everyday and special education teachers on friday. i am enjoying it but getting used to it still. there is one little problem witht he house i am living in-the water stoped working a little while ago so that causes some dificulties. mostly the toilet does not work so we have to use a pee hole. yes a hole that you pee in. the food is great, finaly got to try achoo, and the people are nice enough. i guess thqt is all for now everyone take care and i know i give very little information in the blog, i am sorry it is just hard to think of what to write. i have been keeping a journal and i may type it up and poast it if any one is interested in my day to day life troubles and hapenings. anyways love you all and take care. laters Emily
