New Activities in Iringa!

I have been experiencing some new activities in Iringa. I've been started to play some touch rugby; I would have never thought that I would be playing touch rugby in Africa (or America). It has been a really nice way to spend my past couple of Wednesday nights. A lot of the expats from all over come together to play. It is a nice way to meet new people and get to know some of my students' parents better. Annnnd believe it or not: I got voted player of the day yesterday!!
I'm also on my midterm break now. We are almost half way through our second term of school. My students had some presentations yesterday about peace and conflict in Africa and I was really proud of how hard they worked on their projects! I learned a lot about what is going on in the world. In our next unit we are going to be learning about children's rights. I think this will be really eye-opening because in Iringa we have a lot of street kids. I hope that learning about this makes my kids more aware of how lucky we are to be able to receive an education and not have to beg for food.
On a lighter note...I'm getting really excited to come home and see everyone and to go to Katie and Jordan's wedding! I think that next week I will go to someone to get a dress made for the rehearsal dinner! I'm obviously getting way too excited, way too early! I will be coming back to America at the end of June, probably June 27th. Can't wait!!
