yet again

yet again: i am in antananarivo, i have very little time to write and it is very late at night. today we officially swore in as volunteers and vowed to work here for two years. tomorrow i will move to my site and begin my work as a community health agent. when i get back to electricity (sometime in 2009?), I will hopefully post something long and interesting about whatever I've been doing. until then, i will be working at a health clinic, telling people all about condoms, family planning, malaria, malnutrition, etc. In my free time, I will tend to my garden and my animals (currently 2 geese, 8 chickens, and a dog named Potsy). Since i will be charging my cell phone only sporadically and off of a car battery, i can only promise that i will keep it on during sunday afternoon and evening (america's saturday night and sunday morning) so try and call then.
