Week of 9/22

9/22 Ride from Kim to Stony Ground School. Walked to Adult Education unit for class.
Helen from St. Lucia was there. Had discussion on potential sources of project
funding with Andrew Simmons. Avocado sandwich for lunch. After PACA session, we met with the cell phone salesperson. I talked to Helen for a while about my assignment
at LLBTC. Saw Lovie and Kim outside; we went grocery shopping together. I cooked up
some chunks with peas and rice for dinner. We watched Batman: Dark Night.
9/23 - Internship at Liberty Lodge BTC. Mrs. Wilson asked me to teach Raja and
Harris about angles. Jeffrey and Helen from Peace Corps stopped by and I showed
Helen around. We sat down to speak to Mr. Akers. After Helen left, Mr. Akers and I
went to the Ministry of Sports in town to meet with Nelson Hillocks. We discussed
many possibilities for sports at LLBTC. Mr. AKers introduced me to the people in
some of the other divisions (Gender Affairs, Community Development.) I grabbed a
double (wheat wraps with crushed chick peas and various sauces - pepper, golden
apple, and mango), and took a van back up to LLBTC. After lunch, I spent more time
with Raja and Harris to teach them angles. I then updated the antivirus software on
the computers. I watched the boys warming up to play the pan drums.

gave us a ride there in her car. Saw Kimberli, Shanelle and Janelle. Had some cherry/ginger juice.
