The last one for the next 2 weeks or more...

So this is the day before I got into my village. Am going off to a very small village and am going to practice and speak Mandinka. I am so excited and cant wait to see what happens in the next two weeks. I wont have access to a computer or anything that's electronic and no running water, so you will have to wait for the next update from me. Am also in the process of putting my pictures together so that You all and can see them. The next few weeks are supposed to be the hardest of my two years of training and working because it will be taking me so far out of my norm to make me adjust to the new lifestyle fast. What is it that I will have in my new house now; I get a trunk with the following: a pack of Ramon, powered milk, 1 box of cereal, toilet paper, 2 bucks, 1 broom, 10 candles, a tin of cookies, 4 different packs of seeds, and something else random oh and I get a bike & helmet. So am excited all about this change and the things I get to have.

But if you know me well you know am more of a pants girl and I made sure I bought enough with me. But now when I get here they tell me the best thing for me to wear is long skits cause am a teach and should dress more like the women here. So I had to buy a lot of fabric, lucky it wasn't that high price. Am going to have to take it to a local tailor and have them work their magic and do the best for me.

But because am not going to have a large selection of things am looking for care packages with some of the following items. And remember the items sent are not limited to this list so feel free to send some other things.
