On Being in Limbo

November 13 –

Sorry I’ve been negligent in updating the blog but things here are in a big mess right now. There have been issues with my housing arrangements ever since I went to Manono and two weeks ago everything came to a head when a drunk decided to wander around the premises. The PC decided I should no longer live in that house and tried to find me other accommodations there in Faleu. Well that didn’t work out either and now they have decided to move me from that village to another one – yet to be determined. It sounds like it will most likely be on the island of Savai’i and will have more of a computer teacher component to it, which suits me just fine. I have learned though that the housing component is really critical so it remains to be seen what they come up with for that.

In the meantime I am just hanging out in Apia – I went out to Vaie’e (my training village) for four days to visit my host family there, then PC put me up in a hotel for two nights, and now today I am going up to stay D’s house while she is gone to New Zealand for the next 3 weeks. Hopefully they will have come up with something for me by then! I’ll keep you posted.
