Okay so I will keep it short I think most of my post have been incredibly long and I am sure those of you with ADD don't even get to the end :)
So this past week I cooked lunch for my group village headman (basically the chief of the area he has other chiefs under him, so a pretty big deal)and Andrew. I made beans, rice, tortillas, and guacamole well actually Os made the guac. They both said they liked it. It is a pretty big deal not to serve nsima here but I did it!
I hiked up on Mt. Mulanje it was so amazing and beautiful I wish the pictures I put up did it justice.
Bought some beer for my house, now its a home :)
Went to the market in the rain even though the Malawians said I shouldn't go and even offered to have people go for me. I was very cold after the fact because i kept my wet clothes on so that they would dry. Had some soup and changed clothes and warmed right up. Who would have thought I would be cold in Africa, not me that's for sure!
Well my Peace Corps boss is coming tomorrow and another volunteer is coming to visit on Saturday so that will be nice to have some visitors.
All is well and I am enjoying life here.
Lots of Love

Expect Problems and eat them for breakfast~Alfred A Montapert
Okay so I was supposed to go into Blantyre this weekend, the big city but ended up getting sick I was up most of friday night getting sick and then just didn't feel good on Saturday. I think it was something I ate because by saturday night I was feeling better. A friend here said maybe it could be the pesticides they put on the greens that I ate raw. Most people here eat them cooked but hey I want a crisp salad sometimes so a risk I am willing to endure. I ate the same thing a few days before and was fine.
Then on Sunday I went to the funeral of a 3 yr old boy he was the son of a man I work with. I do not know the man well I just say hello and that is it. So i never met the little boy but went to pay my respects to the family and both my neighbors went as well so I walked there with them and another women. The family is 7th day Adventists I do not know much about that religion. In terms of funeral's in Malawi the men and women are separate. All the women were in the house or close to the house while the men sat farther away. The women's choir group for the church were in uniforms and sat in the house and sang. The women I went with were part of this group so of course I went it too. I tried to just sit outside with other women but my they wouldn't let me. Needless to say it was sad and hard to watch a mother loose her child so young. They are not sure what he died of. The people were very nice to me there and they asked to stay and eat with them of course we did. I shared a plate with the two other women while other women watched me eat nsima I guess they thought I wouldn't eat it or wouldn't know how. But boy did I show them I know how to eat nsima. Then we walked home.
Last week I met with an HIV/AIDS support group. I was confused by this title do they support others with HIV/AIDS or each other. I found out that the people I met have come out and said they have HIV/AIDS and support each other. A very big deal here not many people talk openly or at all about HIV/AIDS. They have asked for a lot of help and I am hoping that I can help them help themselves. They are great people and made me laugh when I was there. They want to get pigs and start a pig farm. So they brought a stuffed animal pig and showed it to me and made an oinking noise it was quite funny. They also gave me this drink made with millet the name escapes me but well it was not for me. So I gave what i didn't want to my neighbors.
Last week I also went to a distribution of mosquito nets with the group village head man (basically the chief) and Andrew he is the current volunteers counter part but he is very nice to me and speaks english well so he helps me along the way. They asked me to go to this distribution meeting they said come at 7 I said well I have to go into work I can be there at 8 so I got caught up at work doing a few things so I didn't actually get there till 830 so I thought it will be almost over so I go to the school get surrounded by kids I ask them where it is happening no one knows a thing. I go to call Andrew but then they see me and call me over. We go sit at someones house then move the benches under a tree then we wait till about 10 then the truck drives by so people start moving. (During all this remind my self that you are on Malawi time so don't stress that they wanted you here at 7 and things didn't start till 10 )So we do too we move to the new location and we get situated someone has to bring chairs so certain people don't have to sit on the ground me being one of them though i try to insist that I stand or sit on the ground but no that is not going to happen. So now a bunch of people have to talk then they introduce me and want me to say something in chichewa. Okay so there are about 200 people there and you want me to talk in a foreign language uh well I said hi and my name. I am too shy or scared or both to say anymore. I hate public speaking or being the center of attention. Well I guess I should get over that quick :) Needless to say they call people's names who are registered at the health clinic. It takes awhile but some peoples names aren't called they are mad and there are few nets left. 35 people still want nets but only 14 are left. Needless to say things got pretty heated I did not like it. And to think they tried to give me one of the nets at the beginning I am glad I didn't take otherwise I would have felt so guilty. Anyways I don't get home till about 3 it was a long day. But glad I went it was interesting to see how the misquote nets are distributed.
Now I feel like I am rambling but I should try to tell one fun or stupid story I guess you make the call.
So I am making some chippies (basically fries) and I am putting them in the hot oil with my left hand I am not sure why but then one slips and flys into the hot oil and splashes and burns me. I am like shit this hurts but i keep putting the rest of the potatoes in and then go wash off the oil and try to cool it down. But without ice it just seems to keep on burning. I then decide i better go back in because they may be burning by now. I go and get them out and every time my left had gets close to the heat I am like ugh this hurts. Well now I have quite the blister on the same hand that has just recovered from a cut i got while try to eat sugar cane and not break my teeth but cut my hand instead. So well I am learning from my mistakes but these mistakes hurt :)
Things are going well I am learning something new everyday and enjoying life here.
Hope this is interesting and you all enjoy!
Take care all

Living, Learning, and Growing
Hello All
Okay so the last two times I posted on here I did not attach a link on Facebook my mom was saying that she liked that so she knew when I posted. My mom told me that Aunt Patti was saying she didn't know when I was posting so she didn't know when to check. So I guess I will continue to post a link on facebook when I post on here. If it is too much just let me know. I don't want to be consuming all of your virtual time :)
Anyways things are going well I have been keeping busy. I have been going to meetings and figuring out that I should plan nothing because things can change in a minute. Which is okay because it means that I am staying busy. Though when I am planning on going to the market to buy fruits and vegetables that I needed I got a little frustrated. But it’s a learning experience I just know if I want to make sure I go to the market I should go before I go into work and things change. I talked to my mom that day on skype and then headed to the little area to get some tomatoes, eggs, and bread to hold me over till I could get into town to get some more vegetables. On my way I saw a few people that I know and chatted which was nice then I was cleaning up my yard a papaya tree rotted out and fell over in my yard so the monkeys were flocking to my house not what I want. One was sitting on my window sill and just watching me until i noticed and scared him away. They were also on my back brick fence eating and watching me until I sacred them away. Anyway needless to say I found out that they are harmless to people from the locals they just want food for the most part. I also saw two having sex in the tree in front of my house haha. Later that day my neighbor gave me this outdoor broom that I could have and then I chased the kids around with it they thought it was so much fun. So needless to say I was quickly reminded that though I may have frustrations along the way there are great people here that are worth it.
I have a tutor that is helping me learn Chichewa which is going slowly but that is to be expected. So many people speak english here it is not a problem but to really help the poorest people I will need to learn it because they are the ones that have not had the opportunity to go to school and learn English. But when I go to the bank and the post office they all speak english to me which is nice kind of but also not helping me learn I try to great them in Chichewa but they often just start talking to me in English because they know that is easier for me. So it is just a matter of me forcing myself to chat to more people in Chichewa. It will come eventually.
Last week I did some local traveling with TRF(Tea Research Foundation) to meet with smallholder tea farmers. It was nice to see other villages and all the people dedicated to growing tea. I of course got introduced I am struggling with being the "center of attention" at times. I try to just blend in but well that just doesn't work :) I am sure people will in a sense get used to seeing me around and know who I am but until then. Some guy asked if I worked for BBC news I thought that was funny I think he was trying to make a joke with getting to know what I was doing at the meeting.
Oh I figured out that I need to close my bathroom door at night otherwise a bat likes to make it's home in there. I went in at night didn't really look up even though I had suspected a bat or some odd rodent to be going in there. Then i was sitting on the toilet felt something hit me and looked up and saw that a bat had just pooped on me. I will be honest I did freak out and ran out and finished peeing outside. I think because I was so surprised. But since then I have been closing the door and no bat poop and no sightings. So learning some basic life skills along the way :)
Things are going well and just trying to figure out some of the things that will make my house more like a home for the next two years. I have been reading a lot so that has been nice. I have already finished 6 books since being here.
Well I hope all are doing well and Everyone has a great Memorial Day Weekend.

Money Issues In Malawi
Okay this was an email from the Director of Mangement and Operations for Peace Corps Malawi in case anyone is intrested in whay is going on with the issues here. This affects me but it will all be okay as he says. Just thought I would share read if you want or don't :)
This is a quick note on the decision of the Malawi government to permit the Kwacha value to “float”. The immediate impact has been a new Rate of Exchange closer to that offered by the informal markets.
Why a currency devaluation?
Devaluation is usually undertaken to correct a deficit in the balance of payments. In the case of Malawi this is more imports then exports. The theory is that weakening the value of a currency would be good for the economy-since a weaker currency will boost production, which in turn will lift employment and all this will set in motion economic growth and keep the economy going.
The Kwacha is now a floating currency. Its rate of exchange will be set by the market, and not as previously, set by the government. This had the effect of causing the black market to flourish and grow and have undue influence on the economy. The black market will not go away (there is always a black market – it’s one of the things that makes life interesting) but the official market should be more current and reflect reality causing the black market to diminish.
What are the implications?
Devaluation makes a country's exports relatively less expensive for foreigners and it makes foreign products relatively more expensive for domestic consumers, discouraging imports. As a result, this may help to reduce a country's trade deficit. Also, increase revenue collection and savings, and bring illegal foreign exchange (black) markets into official channels.
For you as a volunteer
You may experience large price fluctuations, especially for imported goods. This may vary depending on your location. In the short term, you will see price gouging and speculation. Over time this will settle down and prices will find their natural level. If you have dollars you can get more kwacha for them in the banking system(~250 per USD today). Prices may vary.
Some suggestions:
· Make only necessary purchases.
· Be patient, if you don’t need it wait until things settle down.
· Sellers will capitalize on fear and uncertainty.
· Avoid imported goods, if possible
· Do the opposite of the crowd. If everyone is buying – sell; if everyone is panicking – be calm.
For any economist, financiers, or development majors out there, this is a great learning opportunity. You are experiencing on the ground the impact of an internationally imposed get well plan. This could become quite useful for you when you become the decision-makers. For the rest of us, it’s an education in group psychology, sound money management, and the impact of economic policy. No more theory, just reality.
Tough times are here. I trust your resiliency, flexibility, and inventiveness to cope. I also have confidence in your determination to stay focused on why we all came here.
Wish list of items to be sent
Okay so people have been asking me what they can send me so here is a list of random stuff that would make my day. By no means feel that you have to send all of these items or anything at all but people have been asking so I want to answer them.
Tolietries and such
-hand sanitizer
-individual wet wipes
-face lotion with spf 30 in it
-any lotion with aloe in in it( yes I have gotten sunburned already)
-Shampoo and Condtioner( expensive and not really any choices)
-Body soap or Body wash (a girl has to stay clean, even me)
-Face Soap something gentel like cetiphal
-face wipes
-hair ties
-Contact lens solution
-hair ties
-Contact lens solution
Food/Snacks
-Jerky of any kind
-Canned Meat or the like
-Canned Meat or the like
-anything with dark chocolate or really any candy you think I would like.
-energy/granola bars I am not picky
-Any sauce or seasoning packet ie. taco seasoning, gravy mixes, pesto mix etc.
-individual packets of things like ketchup, mustard, soysauce, hot sauce whatever sounds good.
-any cheese item the does not need refidgeration ie velveta or kraft parmasan.
-any spices or spice mixes
-any spices or spice mixes
-Basically use your imagination anything that you think I would like I probably will.
-sugar free gum any flavor but cinnamon
-Coffee already ground
-Coffee already ground
-Drink mixes anything from gatorade to hot chocolate.
Random Stuff
-Any books, not crazy about sifi but if its good I will check it out.
- I would like to learn to knit so a book and the tools needed I know very little about it. Or any other hobby you think I should learn while here.
-any music on cd or flash drive. or itunes credit I think i can download stuff from itunes it just takes awhile.
-Magazines/Newspapers anything that seems intresting
-notebooks/journals
-crossword puzzle books
-crossword puzzle books
-letters of course love to hear about what you all are doing :)
-Seeds of any kind that you think will do well here I am going to be starting a garden soon.
So the cheapest/best way I have heard about sending is a flat rate box or padded envelop from the post office. Any other carrier I will have to pay a duty tax on so not that great. Also put things that may leak or spill out in a zip lock back the boxes tend to be beat up upon arrival. Feel free to add anything you want that you think I may enjoy. Having the great support of family and friends means a lot to me so thank you.

At my home for the next 2 years!
Hello all I am now at my site for good. I have my house and all seems to be in order a few things that were wrong at first have since been worked out. So it is true it"Everything will be all right!" our language facilitator often quoted that from Bob Marley so funny that he transcends so many cultures. Anyways I have posted some pictures on Facebook for some reason they were taking forever to download on to my blog then when they finally did they were either huge or small. So needles to say facebook worked better even on the second try after the power went out. With Malawi luxuries come frustration. But at least I have amenities like electricity available when it is working.
My site mate who lives 5 min from me left to go to Lilongwe the day after I got here so I am really on my own but that is good for me since he is leaving in Sept. So I got here on Friday late in the evening and he had dinner made for me at his house so I just stayed there. On the way to his house we stopped by this South African guys who is doing contract work here and had a Carlsburg (Malawi Beer) the slogan they have is comical "Probably the best beer in the World" not sure that is true but hey its beer. Beggars can't be choosers. So I have been living pretty well to say the least in case anyone was worried :)
Over the weekend I just tried to get my house cleaned and organized still have some work to do. I did some much needed laundry and relaxed and read some. The market is not till Wednesday so I don't have many vegetables but I have a huge bag of potatoes that my host family gave me. So I have been eating those with some avocados. I also have bread peanut butter honey and banana sandwiches often which are very tasty. I have some passion fruit and tangerines that people have given me which is a nice treat.
Today I was chatting with the technical guy at Tea Research and he asked me how old I was I said 28 he seemed surprised I then asked him why was he so surprised he said he thought I was older because I was fat. In the states that would offended me but here I just laugh it off because here they consider it a compliment to be fat it means you are rich. I am not rich but comparatively I have been given more opportunities then most of the people here. Anyways thought I would share that funny encounter. I just set up to have a language tutor 3 days a week to help me get better with my Chechewa. Hopefully she is patient with me I am not very good but slowly but surely it will come along but many people speak english so I can get by for awhile though it makes me have to force myself to really use my Chechewa.
Well I will now have internet when we have electricity and when I get into the office here so I will try to update more but over all things are going well. Our swearing in ceremony was nice we had it at the ambassadors house she is a women which was nice to see. She is also very nice. As my mom said there were the senators there but they left in the middle they had a busy schedule. They chatted with us briefly before the ceremony with their wives. We had a nice lunch and cake and all the soda you could drink I had 2 cokes and was on a sugar/caffeine high.
Okay so to get in contact with me you can phone at 888662326 or 991095154 you type 265 before the 888 number has better coverage near me but the 991 has better rates for me to text in case you were curious why I had two. My address is as my mom put previously. Of course email and facebook work too.
Anyways love you all

I made it to Malawi if you haven't heard yet
Hey everyone I made it to Malawi I have been in training for this whole time I have 2 more weeks left. Right now I am at the place where I will be living for the next 2 years a town called Mimosa in the mulanje district I can see Mulanje Mountain amazing. I am going to be working with a place called the Tea Research Foundation it seems interesting it also has Internet at the office so that will be nice. My house is owned by them so also very nice for Malawi, it has electricity and a water tap outside of it. I am loving it here having a blast and enjoying the people and beautiful scenery. My address will be changing soon but still would enjoy a card or to hear about any new stuff going on with anyone. If you have not heard the president here has died and there is a 30 day morning period. which limited some of the things we could do but understandable it is a unique time. Now there is a female president here, kind of sad that Malawi can have a female president or VP before the US. But maybe someday. Anyways I have felt very safe here and really been enjoying myself.
