things are going famously here in Addis Abeba, Ethiopia. i am teaching children in an after school thingee and they are so adorable! i want to take them all home with me haha.
the challenge is finding a way of accomodating the huge range in english skills... 6yr olds know a little less than 13 yr olds lol.
i also started helping at a soup kitchen kind of thing where we serve 700 homeless men lunch. it is heartbreaking and i cried the first night every time i thought about the magnitude of the situation
spending time with my friends has been awesome. i know that leaving in a months time is going to suck and i will be an absolute mess by the time i get back to New Zealand but i guess thats how it goes..
so yup. dont miss me too much! i can be found at acrazyfairygirl@gmail.com so if you miss me too much send me a note i promise to sign in when i can though and post a journal of happenings.
so i think this is where the pre-emptive "im leaving the country for 3 months" journal occurs.
and, based on last times world travels, where i say "if you want to keep up with my adventures while im away via bulk email insert email address [here]"
so yup... for those of you who havent heard... i am off to ethiopia to build houses with habitat for humanity and after my month of building i will be remaining in ethiopia to spend some time with the people i have spent the last 3 years missing and the culture/nation that has stolen my everything
im not sure how frequently i'll be online and i'll do my best to update my journal on here when i am able but if you got an email address and wanna be kept in whatever loop i find PM it to me
