Last week an NGO (Clean water solutions) came to my village and is going to provide a solar charging center. They were here in the village 2 years ago when I was still a fresh new PCV and it's very funny to see them again 2+ years later. I know people's names now, I know the language, I know the culture and traditions, I know Yapalsi. Anyway this was a blast from the past. Hopefully in a week or so the village will have a place where we can charge phones and batteries.

Also, my village loves seeing videos of zoo animals. I took some pictures and video's at the Lincoln Park zoo and they're so amazed that these animals can be caged. I've been showing video's to my family the past two nights and they love them (Planet Earth and Human Planet). I was so reluctant to let them know I had a computer (for fear I would never hear the end of "Please. We want film. Please bring your computer. Please...") but it hasn't been any problem. Currently thinking about Friday and Saturday movie nights at my compound.

So here are some pictures I promised from the last blog post.

These things become bottles!
