Today we had to put a white powder on all the blankets and bed sheets and leave them in the terrace to get some air. Lately me and IM have gotten tons of "stikk" all over our bodies, and it turns out there are BUGS (lopper) in our beds. Like three weeks ago we had these parasites inside our bodies that made us have "stikk" all over our bodies as well, but the doctor gave us some medicine and the parasites left, thank goodness...  

"Sleep tight, dont let the bed bugs bite..." Well, besides from the bedbugs we are doing very well. Yesterday I went to Moran Lirio high up in the mountains, where we had a workshop about career/education planning for youths. A teacher talked about how we all have different talents and interests and that we will have to consider thoroughly what we want to do with our lives, and what education we will choose. The youths listened very carefully, and among them were youngsters that wanted to be nurses, doctors, artists and scientists. I told them about my education (indok) and what it was like to study in a University of science and technology. As I asked the teacher how many youngsters from the highland that go in with further education, he told me only like 2 out of a 100... Most of this kids are one out of for instance 10 sisters and brothers, and their parents cant afford having them go and study in the city. They also need their labour in the acre/field. It was kind of sad to see their engagement and interest, knowing they will never get to use their talent.

I put out some new pictures- click on "my other albums" down to the left and follow the instructions.
