so its been a while...

hi everybody! sorry that you havent heard from me in a while. im living in a very small village that doesnt have any internet so this is probably only the second time that ive been on a computer since i got here. i only have 12 minutes left on the clock, so i have to talk fast. im living in a village called akim asantemang in the eastern region and im teaching in a village called moffram. everybody here is extremely nice and im enjoying myself very much. the village that i teach in doesnt have any electricity or running water and most of the houses are made out of dirt. theres a primary school and a junior high in the village right next to each other but usually im in the primary school where i have my own class. the kids are so great. for about the first three weeks i was teaching i would go home every day with bags of fruit that the children had brought for me. theyre some of the nicest kids ive ever met. all of the teachers are nice too and are always helping me out when i need it. i love the town i live in but very few people there speak english (since its such a small village) so ive been learning the local language (twi). this past weekend i travelled to winneba (a beach town on the coast) for a night with some of the other afs volunteers. im very lucky because three other volunteers live relitively close to me and one of their families here is also hosting a german girl too. ok, im just about out of time but ill try to get back to the internet soon. thank you to everybody for your nice thoughts here, on facebook, through my parents, etc. miss you all tons!
