A Day in the Life...in Chicumbane



 My house for the past seven weeks is in the center. And on the right is the house I will move into in one week. I am really excited about the patio!
After we spent the night without energy, Calvino and some neighbors climbed on the roof of my future house (Vivienne’s house now) and rewired the electricity until it was working again.


One of the dogs I am inheriting. Meet Magorducha.

The best birthday present in Moz—a hammock! Vivienne and Calvino are enjoying a relaxing morning in the hammock. In order to hang it, we used rope and then some locks to work as carabiners.

Meet Mel. My other inherited pup!



Calvino and Beto giving a lesson on “Regras de Teatro” during our troca with Macia at CACHES.

Grupo Amizade. 
All of the activistas at CACHES belong to this theatre group. This group will represent Chicumbane at the Peace Corps English Theatre Competition this Saturday. I will continue to work with them over the next two years.


 The JUNTOS group from Macia performing a dance at the troca we had a few weeks ago. This group has performed this dance on television here in Mozambique.


Nelio and I playing Produce Masters with the kids at CACHES. We spent the week teaching the kids about Nutrition so I felt Produce Masters was the most appropriate game to teach them. Shout out to FYSOP!


On my birthday, Grupo Amizade performed a skit re-enacting my past seven weeks here in Chicumbane. See The Baptismo for more details.


Just after my birthday skit. Nelio as Vivienne; Vivienne; Joao as Sam, the CACHES director; Calvino as me and me.


 Bilene early one Sunday morning. Bilene is a beach just about an hour away from Chicumbane.
