Don't worry, folks - I am alive.
The living conditions here are much tougher than Uganda (pit toilet is behind and downhill from a literal pig pen) but the food is better. It's a trade off I guess. Check out the sidebar on the right to view photos from Uganda by the way.
Just spent an amazing four days in the villages -- like hike an hour into the bush, no electricty and eat only what you plant or gather kind of village. I learned how to make a broom :)
There is no wireless in Cameroon -- you have to go to a cafe and used the shared (read slow) computers. Plus they use a french keyboard, so some of the keys are in different places making it hard to type. I am still writing at home, and will post an onslaught when I figure out how.
In the meantime.. if you have not made a donation to support the well at KEFRAMA, please do so now. These kids live at the school, so everytime they need water to drink, bathe, wash clothes or do laundry they have to walk a 1/2 mile and carry back heavy jugs. Your gift -- no matter how small -- can make a difference. $20 is 50,000 shillings. $50 is 125,000. Come on -- when else can you say you made a six figure gift?!
Please make a donation today:
