Hey Everyone,
I'm going to keep today pretty short since the power is out, but the reason is actually pretty interesting at least in my eyes. A few days ago the power went out in my village and since then I've been living off my power bank. However today we went for a walk and we found out the reason for the outage! I tree had fell on the power lines and knocked down the cable. I've been told that it will probably take a week to fix, so in the meantime I'll be charging my power bank at the building we have our economic classes in.
Below are a few pictures I took while we were picking cassava leaves for tonight's dinner, but I hope you enjoy the holistic nature of this dilemma as I have. I find these types of problems to be great ways to create solutions for the future, so I look forward to finding out how this outage will develop. I promise to keep you updated regardless and miss all of you, for the one's who wrote letters I thank you as they have been a source of encouragement in the time's were I am frustrated at a problem I am facing in the moment. This kind of stuff happens so it's nice to be reminded to just roll with the punches. I hope this blog can be a comfort to anyone who is in the same situation I'm in and that you take the problems in stride as is the way of a volunteer. I look forward to seeing all of you in time and will leave you with this quote.
