Picture update (part 2)


A giant termite mound I've been meaning to take a picture of for a while now and kept forgetting


Typical road in our area (taken looking down towards our village)


Another delicious group dinner....tandoori chicken w/ eggplant, potatoes and sweet potatoes, chapati, and two kinds of no-bake cookies (chocolate peanut butter and oatmeal fruit nut)


The chefs


RDI student drama focusing on the challenges of working with Village Development Committees


CHN student drama focusing on malaria and the challenges of balancing modern medicine with traditional healing methods


We can now add termites to the list of pests inhabiting our house (along with mice, lizards, ants, and spiders...and that doesn't count the fly problem in our latrine or the massive termite problem in our garden...). I swear this thing cropped up in one night!

If it makes you feel better the lizards can eat some of the other bugs, and depending on their size the mice too. Just think of it as your ecosystem at work.

Yeah I am actually pretty excited to have the lizards. They do make funny noises and occasionally make me jump but I remember spot eating all those crickets and I think good thoughts towards our lizards. Unfortunately I think our mice have grown too large for our lizards to east them. Currently on a hunt for mouse traps. Poisoning them and letting them crawl into our ceiling to die sounds like a horrible idea.
