On Friday my student who can’t read or write showed up to school for the first time all week. I found him after fifth period and confirmed that we would meet after sixth period (the last class of morning classes) to have a Portuguese lesson. I waited for half an hour but he never showed.
Saturday I went to Ann’s house and got stuck there for 6 hours because of the rain. In a country where nothing is paved (the only paved road in our town is the national highway that isn’t in our town as much as runs straight through it) rain suddenly becomes a huge limiting factor as streets become rushing rivers of mud that suck the flip flops off your feet like quicksand.
Two of our colleagues who met and started dating during training just got engaged, which we celebrated during the monsoon an Saturday. Parabéns guys!
