Water!

Well our adventure this week has to do with water, rather the lack of it. Occasionally we wake up in the morning and no water comes out of the faucets but when we get home from school it is usually back on. Well Thursday we woke up and had no water and as of today, Monday, we still have no water. Water is one of those things you don't really appreciate fully until you don't have it. We usually have a bucket filled for such occasions but it hardly last us this long. Luckily we arrived home on Saturday after a day touring a local coffee farm and found that the water was on. Our excitement was short lived however since it was only on long enough for us both to take a shower and fill our bucket. So we are getting creative with trying to fill buckets with rain water to flush the toilet, and try to assure ourselves that baby wipes really do clean.

School is going well. I (cody) started afterschool tutoring with some of my students. It is nice because the primary gets out at 1:45 and so the busses come to take students home at that time. Then they return to pick up the secondary students who get out at 2:30. The primary teachers are asked to select a few students to tutor afterschool during that time. It is great to get to work one on one. Today I had an especially rewarding session with a boy in my class who afterward was glowing because he finally understood how to round numbers. He tells me that he's going to stay every Monday, perhaps more because then he can finally get his homework done right.
