still training

well, im still training! had a lovely week in Zanzibar of drinking and smoking! but back to reality and we met the tanzanian volunteers who all seem really nice, there are 15 of them, and now its been two weeks they are getting more confident and louder,  at the beggining I think they were a bit intimidated, us wazungu have know each other 2 months, and all become really close...we must be quite intimidating. So yeah we are currently learning about non formal education tequniques, which is actually really interesting, and a definate step up from the sex education we had which was so basic it was scarey, but they have promised some better sessions soon, because there are an awful lot of miss conceptions floating around which really need to be cleared up if we are expected to teach this to children. Many tanzanians believe that masturbating makes you impotent or if you are a woman stops you from wanting a man. Also that friction causes HIV to be transmitted....so you can see the problems we are having, but overall it is good. I feel completly at home here in Iringa, and I dont look forward to returning to england in september, would just like to fly my family out every few weeks to see them and I'd be happy to stay forever.
well, my time is up because as usual I have badly organised my timing and list of things to do on the net.
