Summer vacay

Bonjour all! So I finished school two Saturdays ago with my compositions for my 7th grade class and then all last week I continued to teach the 10th graders for there test is coming up next month. I left site this past Saturday which was really sad. I really didn't want to leave, especially since a lot of my students and friends are going to be leaving Mombeya for the summer or for good. Right now I'm in Mamou for a workshop/seminar type thing to work with our counterparts at site in areas regarding health such as HIV/AIDS and such. It should be interesting and I look forward to it except I have another infection on my foot from a mosquito bite and might be leaving to Conarky tomorrow. I've been in contact with my doctor in Conakry and he is sending me meds and choses comme ca for me and if I'm not any better by tomorrow I'll go. I really hope it does not come to that. It was better this morning. Yesterday it was sooo swollen and red and not pretty. I took pictures!
After this workshop in Mamou, I hope to attend, I'm going to Conakry for the weekend and then to Forecoriah for another training. That training will be for when the new group of teachers comes in this July. So that should be pretty exciting except I'll be in Forecoriah where the weather is awful and I'll be gone from my site for over two weeks. Some of my students and Madame Bah have been calling me everyday. It's been nice. I miss them!
So things are going great! I'll keep you updated on my foot which will be fine. Love you guys all and in less than 6 months I'll be home for Christmas!
