So with that...
- Sponsoring one of my favorite girls here (school and board/food) for a year because she didn’t pass Form C and her government sponsorship is no more because she failed. 21 year old, orphaned 4 years ago and is quite possibly HIV positive and continued illness last year played a major role in her challenges during school.
- Exposing Bokong, the adorably beautiful little openly gay boy on campus (one of two) to Sia and Florence and the Machine and he loves them both, “bold, underline, italic!”
- Matela’s soccer game
- Insane connection with the girls
- Rosemary finally smiling after she had a few talks with Sr. Catherine and Florence
- Smashing my pinky toe on a god damn, dining room chair, of all things!
- Rome giving me compliments
- Daddy saying, “just your presence calms me.” We are the keeper of each other’s sanity.
- Exchanging music with Tamaki
- Doing the little things I love most when at home – early morning workout and cooking
- Showing pics of my family and friends at home to my friends here
- Discussion with Daddy on “how have these experiences changed you?”
- Rome, “Are you easy to love?”
- School starts
- Nkwelle and Rolland aren’t really brothers, just from the same tribe in Cameroon and have known each other since college and are more than best friends
- Framing/grinding/screwing master
- Realizing, for sanity, I need to stay in the US until my June yoga class and THEN be gone for an extended period of time, at least through the next LUCOF project
- Lesotho dynamic
- 71 year old, camo skirt wearing, South African born, toothless Sr. Agnus who wants to hide me next week so I can’t leave
- Continually, literally living up to my blog name, unintentionally
- Somehow avoiding getting killed by the homicidal grinder
- Sr. Agnus doing a little shimmy shake w/ me after the good bye celebration
I don't want to leave. I'm going to be a complete mess on Tuesday.
