Ramadan ended a day later than everyone expected because no one spotted the moon. There wasn't really a big party because it rained pretty solid for the entire 2 days after Ramadan ended. Everything is pretty much back to normal.
School is starting back again now. It was supposed to start last Monday, but that day only one teacher who had come to inform the village he had been transferred and I showed up. I returned on Wednesday to find a few teachers and a few students sweeping out classrooms and chatting. The next Monday, most of the teachers showed up and probably about half of the students. We had a staff meeting, but there were still no classes. By the time I get back, I'm thinking school should actually have started. We'll see...
Other than that, since the last time I was in town, I've:
- waged war against the termites in my house
- accepted defeat in said battle
- learned how to carry a baby on my back
- taught the little boys in my compound how to thumb wrestle
- learned how to plant rice
- made some urine-based fertilizer
- had a baby boy born in my compound
- got some really awesome packages- Thank you!
