“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” -Mark Twain

Mountougoula
Today we received our homestay village sites. I will be in a village called Mountougoula with 7 other trainees. We will be learning bambara and immersing into the culture. We will stay there for the next 9 weeks coming into the training center every 10 days or so. While I'm there I won't have electricity or internet. So I will try to keep notes and take pictures to update when I get back.

Du courage. You will be fine after you adapt to the climate and food, not to mention the crazy dose of anti-malaria pills. I think you will enjoy the cultural training(shock?). Be sure to eat enough. I'm looking forward to your blog on the homestay. You will learn so much so fast!
