Training

Hey Everyone,
So I have currently been in Gushie, up in the Northern Region, for my technical training with the rest of the Health, Water, and Sanitation PCVs. We're staying in a house that has running water, but not electricity...but you take what you can get. :) We've been learning the skills and techniques that we'll need in the next few years for our service here. I'm doing a program called Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS), which is to motivate people to use latrines. Nothing fancy, but definitely needs to be done. I will also be working with the District Assembly on other projects, but I'll have to wait until I'm at my site to know more about that.
I met my counterpart a few weeks ago when I went to go look at my site for the first time. Our place is pretty nice, we have 2 rooms with electricity...and that means Ceiling Fans!!!!!!!!!! I'm very excited about that. During the hot season it supposedly gets up to 120 at night....so that fans are going to be nice. We also have running water (most of the time), so flush toilets and showers! You have no idea how nice that is. A flush toilet is almost impossible to come by, and a shower is luxury. Although I have come to love bucket baths, I'll miss them. I will be working in 4 outreach communities surrounding Zabzugu, which is found out are quite a few km away, so that's gonna be tiring during the hot season, but 'when in Rome'. :)
I don't have much time, so I'll leave at this...I updated photos! I miss you guys and I hope that everything is going well back in 'Merika!
