seven weeks later, i now know these sixteen people in a way that i will never know anyone else. sixteen including myself, because i've learned some things here that i really wasn't aware of before.

amidst the countless curriculum jokes, the millions of nicknames, and the blaring reggae music playing in the background of it all, this project has offered me some of the most fun and challenging experiences i've ever had to go through--ones that i'm sure i would have never faced anywhere else. but the fact that i've been able to share these past six weeks of teaching with the fifteen people that i've been lucky enough to spend them with encourage me to keep smiling and to look forward at the week we still have left together. outreach week is a time for the qho/yess team to "reach out" into the community and help in any way that we can. starting monday, we have VCT testing, tree planting, community clean-ups, painting, soccer tournaments, and many other activities planned for both our students that we've trained and any other community members willing to participate. i'm still amazed that everything has gone by as quickly as it has, but, as courtney said, its soo nice to end it all on such a high note.

love, chelel
