It has been a bit longer than usual since we updated because we´ve been traveling! Last week we split up and went to visit some current volunteers in two very different parts of Mozambique. I headed up the ´volunteer super-highway´to southern Inhambane province. There are many volunteers placed all along the coast, so many trainees went to this area. Luc went to the mountains and lakes of Manica provice, but I´ll let him tell his stories. I stayed with a wonderful volunteer biology teacher who lives in an amazing coastal town with views of the coast to die for. The town has lagoons vbetween it and the beach: crystal clear semi-salty water, safe for swimming and lined with coconut palms. It was breathtaking. I had lots of chances to swim, practice Portuguese with teachers from her school and try my hand at cooking Ámerican recipes over a coal stove. Overall, the 5 days were inspiring and fun to see a volunteer thriving in a really spectacular setting.
When all the trainees returned with new perspective about a better idea of what life may be like, the suspense about where we will all be placed has gone sky-high. We are sscoping out the list of possible sights, prioritizing our preferences and waiting impatiently for the big reveal day. Emotions are all over the place in our training group, but we are crossing our fingers for a great placement! Wish us luck!
