The past couple of days
have been rough in terms of not being home for the holidays but somehow I am
making it through with my friends here in Africa. The endless amounts of home cooked food and
packages sent from loved ones back home have helped alleviate the
homesickness. Not to mention the
traditional black and white films, It’s A Wonderful Life and White Christmas. Oh and Love Actually, except that one is in
color.
My Christmas Eve was
non-traditional in that it did not include breakfast with my sisters and dad,
church service, and a dinner out on the town.
Instead I spent it at another PCV’s site with some children at an
orphanage. We took pictures on my
computer and played games while they stroked my hair that they found oh so interesting. The children’s smiles reminded me of how
lucky of an opportunity I have been given.
I will fill everyone in on
the day’s events in a later post. This
was just a short and simple post to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy
New Year!
