mlalo mountain moonlight

just writing from a wee lil internet cafe in lushota in the NE usumburu mountain range after 3 days shadowing a current volunteer, stefanie, in a small mountain muslim village - no electricity or water, but i've never had a more refreshing, genuine time. i learned so much more about the daily routine of a volunteer, met her village chief (who then guided us towards the "killing rocks" on the mtn top where villagers were once punished for wrongdoings), hiked around (even to one point with vistas into kenyan plains), talked to local kids working in the fields, participated in her school's health club meeting and debate ("should women be in charge of family planning?"), and cooked some pitas
from scratch by candlelight - amazing.

wish you all were here to see these smiles, sunrises, dusty roads, and moonlight that only shines this bright in africa, i swear.

*prayers would be appreciated as we receive our site assignments for the next 2 years in 10 days (aug 2)! trusting i will be placed where i'm meant to be, but i can't lie - praying to be close to the big mountain!!!

The subsequent rise in the Galloway's monthly payments means the couple are now struggling to meet their monthly payments.
Independent loans analyst Iain MacQueen-Sims is critical of loan consolidation, saying: "The Americans tend to call it predatory selling where you take advantage of a particular borrower's situation.
