Hard to believe but I have been in my new job now for 6 weeks and I am loving it! I thought I would post some photos of my campus. It is a beautiful spot and I feel so lucky to be here. My kids are terrific-a mix of American and other nationalities including British, French, Kuwaiti, Hungarian and Indian. They are so well-traveled that I am learning more from them than they are from me. I think what is most amazing about these kids is how well-adjusted they are considering some of them have lived in as many as 4 or 5 different countries in their short lives. Most of them speak at least two languages if not three.

We are leaving Tuesday (the middle school students and teachers) for a 3-night camping trip in the bush up in the Northwest Province. The kids are so excited. The teachers, not so much. I will post an update when I get back, after I have had a long hot shower.

Our guards check under each car before coming through
the gates due to the large numbers of diplomatic children here. |
Hope all is well with you. Jody

This is our cafeteria. It is called the lapa, which is an old African
term for an open, thatched-roof building. |
