New Roomate

The World Teach Volunteers in New Amsterdam, that's on the coast, were broken into twice recently. The second time the thiefs put a hose through the window and gassed the house to put everyone to sleep while they robbed the place. The Project trust volunteers who live nearby were broken into even more and one of the girls woke up to a man standing on her bed with a knife. Everyone is ok, but shaken. The ministry there has been terrible about fixing broken locks or putting bars on the windows, let alone moving the volunteers to a safer location. Anyway, everyone finally gave up and decided to move our volunteers from the region. Jessie Sue and I have a spare room and our region has been one of the best for getting things done (which doesn't exactly say a lot). So... we have a new roomate. Dana moved down the Saturday of our party, she was sent with one days notice, in typical Guyanese fashion, and arrived with no bed and no definite job. She sorta has a bed now but still no job. She is awesome though and it is cool to have another person around in the house to shoot the shit with.
