Well- I'm here! After months and monmths of preparation! And it's great! Far better than I could ever have imagined. The place is beautiful, the people are lovely and it's soooooooo relaxed!
Staying at the Lion Hotel in Asmara for two weeks of in country training with the otrher 12 new volunteers- all lovely and we're having lots of fun! Went for a walk in the mountains outside Asmara today- just stunning! Lots of goats, cows and donkeys... but no camels yet! Have met some very sweet and inquisitive children and have tried a variety of injera and stew dishes. Food here is great!
We start proper training tomorrowe- have to be at the programme office by 8:30 and have to cycle there so that'll be a challenge!!
Hope everyone is well.

Hello Miss Lee!
I am very glad to hear that you arrived safe and well. Everybody at school is missing you and we all said a prayer for you in assembly wishing you a safe and happy trip. The new green class are settling in very well and I know that Mrs Kent is enjoying being in your old room. I have enjoyed looking at your blog and I will be showing my lovely Yellow class it soon.
Take care, I'll email soon!
