| From Maman comes to Benin |
1 – I have made four posts at the same time, for the sake of keeping the info organized. So if you have time, make sure to scroll down and see them all!
2 – Thanks to a relatively new service through my cell phone provider, I now am able to access the internet at home. Of course, the connection is not great, and I am also trying not to spend every second tethered to my computer like I would in the states. Nonetheless, I am much more available for communication now, so if you want to send me an email or find me on skype or gchat, that would be cool.
3 – While I would never want to pressure any of you into giving money, if you are interested in donating to Peace Corps projects, there is a link on the main website (www.peacecorps.gov) that says Donate Now. You can search projects by country and keyword I think. There are several up for Benin right now (all sponsored by individual PCVs here). The girls' camp that I will be taking four girls to in June was just recently funded through such an online account.
4 – Due to my new internet access, I have been able to upload a whole bunch of pictures to Picasa, and I hope to be adding more as time goes on. I'm not really that familiar with Picasa, but I figure you can figure it out if you'd like to check out the pictures. There are videos too, including one of me looking super cool hauling water from the well.

Hey friend! Good news about the internet and all. I'm starting to think that your place and Costa Rica must be pretty similar because those red trees were some of my favorite there and we had the cashew trees all around. PS about the cashews, they told me in Costa Rica that most people are allergic to the casing of the nut. So be careful! Have fun teaching!!
