First Week

We've been here for a week now. Marta took off last night, and Curtis arrived this morning. We're still a little understaffed. I taught at Alliance last night and today. It's tough because they have 3-5 people per computer and we dealt with power fluctuations.

They have UPS backup systems, but they all beep loudly whenever the power went out. So, every 30 seconds, 30 UPSs would start beeping at once. We just had to lecture through it.

The kids at Alliance are very motivated and are spending their only free time in our class. It's tough because there are so many people in the class and they have a lot of questions. The machines we shipped should be arriving soon, which will relieve some of the computer issues.

We ate nyama choma last night, with is basically just grilled meat that you order by the animal part. We had a mutton hip and a leg. They slice it into bite-size pieces on your table and you can dip it with your hands in salt or tomato sauce. It was excellent with a local Tusker beer.
