Graduation!

First stop - school. Considering the title of this post... you guessed it! Graduated. I was the only one in my class that got a perfect score on the english test. I was so proud. The other tests were a little more difficult but because I passed the final project - I will receive a graduation certificate on December 15th.
My final project (assigned by my teacher) was about communications. Communication through the cell phone, radio, and most importantly the internet. Basically I had to debate and discuss the pro's and con's of these "devices" and how people today rely too much on the usage of them. It was really interesting to see the different points of views.
Besides school, I have been looking into different projects to do during the summer. Last Saturday, I visited a monastery. While this sounds strange - this monastery holds lunch time activities for the poor children of Lambare. There are a large group of houses or shacks if you will, outside of this monastery. The people who live there have decided that for whatever reason, they don't want to work. Instead they work in other ways and end up having many children that they cannot support. Seems pretty terrible right? Well, luckily for these kids - every Saturday, the priests hold a lunch. The kids all eat lunch together and then they have games that are organized for them. They can use the fields and the soccer balls and any other equipment. They can use the showers and cleaning supplies.
So - my 2 of my friends and I went last weekend to help out. We ate lunch with the kids and then played with them for awhile commencing in Juice and cookies with the priests of the church. We got to talk about why they would want to study to be monks and the answers were quite surprising. I hope to go back soon!

Besides the daily trip to the ice cream shop and then the pool - its too hot to do much else. I look at the status' of people on Facebook and they all say something about the cold - or have pictures of them all bundled up. The normal temperature here now is above 100* so the thought of doing something productive just makes me want to sit down. You can literally get a tan from walking down the street and I have- it's crazy.
If you would like to see the pictures of the things that I have talked about - just go check out my facebook! They are also all on Orkut (but I don't know if you know what that is)

Peace & Love,
