Mato
Well, I am going to the bush. I got placed in Tete province, which is as northwest Mozambique as you can get. I am opening a new site alone, and apparently will be teaching English. This obviously could change once I get to site, but I probably won't know until right before school starts. Unfortunately, I probably won't be updating this blog too frequently seeing as I will have no electricity and no cell phone coverage in my village. I am feeling fine about it all; I knew that this was a possibility, yet my expectations had kind of changed throughout training. I don't have too many more details seeing as there is not a volunteer there now, but I am looking forward to having lots of interesting stores to tell! Promising more details when I know. :)

You'll get through it! I'm sure it will definitely be hard, but you'll do great! So proud of you!
ReplyDeleteOh, I get it now. Mato is Portuguese for bush or jungle. Where in Tete province is your village and what is it's name? Based on what we see on the Internet, it really looks like a beautiful region! We do hope you enjoy and look forward to stories and pictures...
ReplyDeleteI'll bet all the other provinces are jealous of Tete now. How awesome to get to START a new site!! You are already a legend. :) Love you!!!
ReplyDeleteWho better to be picked to start a new site. Only the best!!! It looks like a beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteThe Peace Corps certainly knows the one to choose to open a new site. They obviously know what an intelligent, hardworking, responsible young woman you are. I am so proud of and love you so much, Hannah. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxoooooooooooxxxxxxxxx

Just think of all the mad guitar skills and knowledge of novels you will acquire during your time in the bush :) Love you!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe PC must have the utmost regard for your capabilities. You will take away as much as you share. You are a pioneer to be admired... and remember, some people never do anything worthwhile during their lives, only a few make a difference for so many. Love, B & A
