Vacation!!!

Finally vacation is here. The 1st semester is over and we've only got two to go before we return to the states. We can make it. We're excited to begin vacation with Beth and Anthony, Josiah and Shaylah. Its gonna be such a fun 1 1/2 weeks with them! After that we plan to go to Mozambique for some serious beach going and snorkeling. We've heard that Mozambique beaches are amazing, the water will be just like the Caribbean with far as the eye can see white sand and palm trees.

In other news besides vacation and school our grant was approved for the Tusikameni Sewing Service. We should be getting the grant money in soon and hopefully can buy the sewing machines while here in Windhoek! Beyond that we're still waiting to hear back regarding the hostel projects. The grant for the Theatre Project in conjunction with the Youth Activity Center has been denied because we wanted to charge $1-2 to see a movie. I thought this was funny because the whole reason for having the theatre is to raise money for the Youth Activity Center, so not charging money kind of defeats that purpose. Oh well maybe we will resubmit after the holidays.

I call this flower the purple flower. Its not an original name but it works I guess.
