did it work?
there are such intense highs and lows here. every day someone is sick and going to the hospital. last week the niece of one of the teachers died and our neighbor's young daughter died, simon's son was sick and went to the hospital at 2am and the boy who lives in my house was sick and went to the hospital three times in one night. so there is all that. there are families who can't send their kids to school because they need them to help look for food during the day. there is that.
then there is salima swinging from a coconut tree and the village soccer match (we won 5-0) which leaves everyone hooting and hollering and hugging.
i don't know. everything is about surviving but i guess all the happiness or whatever is part of it too. more later
lots of love
