Thanksgiving was a bit out of the normal, if you can only imagine. A group of 51 American Peace Corps (at the time) Trainees gathered together with our local language professors and peace corps administration to celebrate and American holiday on mocambican terra. it was amazing. We split up into groups and tackled classic American dishes. Stuffing, turkey, green bean casserole, gravy, blah, blah. My group made mashed potatoes. We dished out 25 kilograms of garlic mashed potatoes and 15 kilograms of cheesy mashed potatoes! It was glorious. The good times flowed in Namaacha that day as we laughed and enjoyed our last couple weeks in Namaacha for training. I wish I could really truly explain the feeling I had as I looked around at the group of soon to be volunteers and wondering what kind of impact we would have on our communities over the course of 2 years. That was quickly blown away though as we opened some wine and enjoyed each others company.
Vida e boa. Nao e?
