The last couple days we (Kathy and I) have spent working on our lessons and the handbook we will provide for the teachers. Also important is checking the fit of our African dress which was, well, too small. Luckily Kathy the tailor got mine on me and hers on her. Maybe Liberia will help us fit in our clothes better.
The first place we will work is Massaquoi Village, a small community outside of Monrovia about an hour and a half. They have 7 teachers and a school with cane benches and a thatched roof.
Ive been there before as the teachers came to our training last year. It took them about 2 hours to get to our training, that started at 8am, and no one missed. They are hungry to learn. We will work there first. Then we will take 2 days and visit friends and the other schools we worked with last year in Monrovia. After a couple days there, onward 12 hours to the north and a country school that is new to us. We will work there (Geinwen School) in Bong County for the next few days before coming back to the beach for a nice hotel stay for a night. I guarantee we will need it by then! So, that's the plan. It is rainy season there so the driving will be long, slow, and muddy but an adventure!
