So last night we had the COS party for the intake which preceeded my own. These volunteers have been in the Education and Agriculture Programs for the past two years. There are 6 from Northern Province who are leaving Zambia in a few days. The theme of the party was cowboys, indians, ninjas and pirates. This variety makes it easier for us to hit the thrift shops and put an outfit together. Coming from Arizona, I actually had the beginnings of a Native American costume. 28 of us came up to Kasama to give them a send off. We cooked (I brought cabbages and basil from my garden) and ate and then danced. It was great fun. It is so easy to plan get-togethers here with our Provincial house.
Now my intakes become the "seniors". I have finally grown into my description. I have felt a sadness because these are the people who helped us shop and showed us the ropes when we arrived in Kasama. I am grateful to them. I am also sad because it means that our time here is also limited. There are many projects to complete. The stress is on....
