Ukushana!!!

Hello hello!
It has been about 3 weeks since being posted in my village and I am having an amazing time. My village is very motivated and excited to work with me. Lots of biking and meetings...and plenty of time to sit around and think, paint, write, and read. I have started to get settled into my house, and have finally gotten a table and chair--it's nice to not have to sit on a yoga mat anymore! I forgot my camera chord so have included some photos from a friend's camera-enjoy!
This photo to the left was taken at the waterfalls--oh, to wash dishes in the river...in Zambia...right next to a waterfall...life is amazing! The one on the right was during second site visit--the kid on my shoulders was holding on for dear life...



















Below is at Samfya beach-white sand, clear water, and crocs...what more could you ask for? Unfortunately, even with the strict advice or a passer-by to not "let the sun burn your skin," the sub-saharan ball of fire scorched my epidermus like it was going out of style.

Have received many of your letters and packages---thank you for the love!!
I miss you all and hope life is well.
