And the Winner is....

PC is an emotional roller coaster full of extreme highs and extreme lows. Thankfully, I haven't reached an extreme low yet but an extreme high is def site placement. You wouldn't believe all of the anxiety and stress that settled among the 11 of us in 2 days because of the stress of not knowing the placement of our future homes. The PC staff got a kick of holding the info from us until we about to burst or kill someone, the night before I found out I slept for like 3 hours...rough!Anywho my site is *Drumroll please*...
Esageri School for the Deaf in Mogotio Kenya. That name and location means just as much to you as it does to me right now. All I really know is that I will be in a Small rural area in the lower part of the rift valley. The school is pretty new, opened in 2009. I am their 1st PCV(which means I can set the bar, pretty high I hope) but I was told they asked for 4 so they will prob try to work me like a dog. It is a coed school, yay! I was terrified to be placed in an all girl school. It has around 100 students(most classes have around 15) and no class 8 which means no one is stressing about testing right now just focusing on learning. My PC boss told me they offered him 3 houses to look at and choose which one to put me in which I thought was super nice. I will have electricity, water and a toilet inside my house!!!! what more could i ask for?!? A few of my fellow trainees are not so lucky:(

With that being said about 7 of us are all in the same little cluster in the rift valley/western kenya area. Then 2 are in the center and the other 2 deaf ed are at the coast. Im glad to be around most of the others and in what has been said to be a beautiful place with lots of forest and rolling hills. Thats about all I have right now. I called my school headteacher(principal) the day after I was assigned to the area, since then he has called me 3x just to make sure Im doing ok. I'm really not sure how to feel about this lol. Im flattered he's so excited to get a volunteer and make sure Im taking care of but I feel him smoothering me just a bit.


I found a cute little article about the school in this

So yeah im happy with it. No reason to be otherwise.

In other news KSL(Kenyan Sign Language) is coming along just fine.  I had a giant doughnut today for 45 shillings(45 cents) BALLER! We had a few scares this week with Kenyan going into war and a few bombings in the capital there was talk among volunteers of being sent home but our Country Director assured us that he is doing all he can to keep us here. No worries we are 100% safe. Shadowing this weekend.Updates to follow
