Yo Yo Y'all!!!

So in these last two weeks we've been in training in the capitol city. The first week was Project Development Management and Male Engagement. The PDM was basically about how the volunteer and the community counterpart are supposed to be working together to develop a project. Male Engagement is about educating men to empower women. We discuss stereotypes and gender roles. It was pretty ridiculous hearing about all the view points from the men and women here. The male opinions are somewhat universal in that they think they're the shit and gods gift to the world. The women are a little different in that many of them are aware that their men are cheating, almost to the point that they accept it as a part of life...nothing to stress over. The following week, this week, was just technical training, so basically stuff about teaching and integration.

Tomorrow we will check out of this 'resort', I'll be around the way for a few days. Then our official vacation starts. Here is our itinerary:

(5/6-8) Swakopmund: 2 nights, N$230 (30USD, plus spending money)
(5/8-9)Windhoek: 1 night, N$100 (13USD, plus spending money)
(5/9-14) Miscellaneous Travel South N$500 (66USD)
(5/11-14) Stellanbosch Lodge/Wine Tour: N$600 (80USD)
(5/14-23)Cat and Moose Lodge: N$1260 (168USD, plus a lot of spending money)
We don't really have an itinerary for whats happening between 14th and the 23rd, but just to name a couple, we will visit Table Mountain, Robin Island. I have no idea how much all this will cost, but we hear its like America. America? They have MC DONAAAAAAAAAALDS!!!! (say it like Oprah when she's introducing a guest)

Unfortunately my camera charger was stolen so I won't be able to take pictures so you will just have to wait for other people to post them to see how my vaca went. Also, I mentioned some names up there, feel free to google these places to see where I'm going and what we'll be up to. There's about 4 in our immediate group and others we'll be meeting at random times while we're there. Sooo excited!!!

Loves ya!
