Our English theater group is encountering some problems, our play (which the kids wrote completely on their own) talks about the use of condoms which does not concord with the view of the catholic mission where our school is. I understand why the sisters are taking the stance they are, but it quite frustrating nonetheless.
The internet has been out for almost of week now, but is back (for the moment at least. Of course by the time I have things typed up to post or email it will probably be back out). So much to catch up on: the arrival of two English boys who are riding their bikes through Africa from South Africa to Kenya, the festival of Laura Vicuña, our mission’s namesake, and the riots in that started yesterday in Maputo and left two people dead (that may be inaccurate, it’s all through word-of-mouth), have started moving north up the country entering Gaza province, the one south of mine, has shut down transportation in the country (those chapas I love so much haven’t run in two days), and have all PCVs on “standfast” where we are not allowed to leave our sites.
