Cell phone junkies, it's true

I just got back from our training center, Tubani So, where I hosted sessions on needs assesment, reproductive health, family planning, HIV/AIDS, and my absolute favorite thing to do, Hearth. The new volunteers are really picking up the language quickly and I'm so excited for them to finally dig in and get some good work done at their sites. Go Belushi's!

I've been getting inquiries regarding a rumor that I have a phone here. Yes, it's true, but I don't get cell phone reception at my site so it only works when I'm in Bamako. Just in case you get an email from me or see that I've updated my blog in the past day and thus discover that I am in Bamako, please call! It's a bit expensive unless you use Skype or Zaptel, but 011-223-525-9971.

I know this was short and doesn't count as a real update...I'll try again soon. Tons of love from Mali, anyway!!
