CHRISTIANS AND RUGBY

Bula vinaka! Fiji of course is still wonderful. I can't believe my time here is almost up already. It has been such a great experience. I am so in love with the people here. I'm not quite sure what I'll do when I come back to America and every single person I pass doesn't say hi to me anymore. The projects are all wrapping up great. Ravin has mastered all his sight words, vowel sounds and consanent sounds. I'm getting some information on other tutors for him so he can continue to learn. He is so smart. We're building three more stoves today. It's our last day to build them. I taught some lessons last week on gardening and health. They are so excited to learn. The MDA went great. If you didn't know about half the population of Fiji are the Indo-Fijians. The villages I went to administer the tablets to were indo-fijian settlements. That means that every time we stopped at someones home, I had to drink at least two cups of "juice"-juice meaning water with red stuff in it, sometimes it'd be tang. The people here are all so giving. We've also been helping to administer at the schools. The kids were so funny. Some took the pills with no problems, others gagged and choked and made a fuss. Then we showed them pictures of what could happen if they didn't take the pills... we didn't have any problems after that. Sorry these posts have all been very short and full of typos, I never have much time here in the internet cafes plus the internet is slower than you could ever imagine. Remember dial up? This is worse. See you all in a little less than two weeks!
