Lessons Learned So Far...... by Taylor (via her mom)

These are the words of Taylor, transcribed by her mom. She has little to no access to the internet for at least another month, so I will be her connection to you as I speak with her at least one a week via cell phone. She is excited about her new post. She will be moving to Lama Tessi in the central region of Togo. It is approximately 18 km from Sokode, a large city, where 2 other PCV will be residing. She will be working with a local businessman who runs a non-profit there. She leaves for her post in early August. She will live in a new home (2 rooms) within a compound that may even have electricity!

Here are her lessons learned..so far...

  

   1.I am grateful for the dedicated team of Togolese instructors who are excited to have us and committed to prepare us for our work.
  

   2. I am learning to live with dirt: you are never really clean here.
 

   3. The humidity here is humbling.

  4.Training (aka French) is intense but running and a great group of  fellow trainees is keeping me sane.

Thanks to all who are keeping her in your prayers.
