Happy February!

It's February! When are we supposed to stop being excited for our birthdays? Is there some rule about this? ..... well I'm excited! :=)It's going to be fun month:

Softball playoffs are this Saturday. It's single elimination so it's pretty intense!

Next Tuesday I get to do a waste-sort! Hmmm, get to? Maybe that's a bad choice of words. The couple that organized the Joal Waste Management program is back visiting and helping extend the project to a few other cities. I get to go help them and at the same time study the technical side of composting.

West Africa Invitational Softball Tournment (WAIST) is next weekend. Our theme this year is Peace Corpse. I get to be dead! I have a pretty sweet costume that Matar made for me and I will have my camera in hand all weekend! It will be fun.

After WAIST weekend, we will have the All Volunteer Conference which gives us the opportunity to share stories and experiences.

Then my host sister and I are having a combined birthday party. Her bday is the 16th. Should be interesting... last year they had lots of food, cake, friends and even hired a photographer. I will have to invite toubab friends in order to keep sane. Maybe it will be fun!

Besides all the fun, I will be still working on my composting. I have a great new idea to do an adopt-a-tree project with our compost and to pair up with the schools. More details on that when I figure it all out. Matar is doing great with accounting and I'll be making it more difficult, but more precise for the month of February. We are having fun with it - the other day I walked into his shop and he was writing in his notebook and I just smiled. I like that kinda work.

Send some love to your valentine this month! <3
