The past two months or so have been some of the busiest I’ve had thus far here in Botswana, so I apologize for the lack of updates! I was in Gaborone, the capital city, for two weeks of training, then I was in Senegal for two weeks of another training, followed by three days at home before traveling back to the capital for a week of another training. I then travelled to India for a week before FINALLY returning to Shakawe. Being away from my village was incredibly difficult, especially because I wanted to be home and starting to work on projects, but had to attend so many mandatory trainings. I was extremely worn out and over-saturated by the time I took my first vacation in about seven months. Below are some retrospective blog updates about these crazy few weeks away from site.
