Today was our first day of LIFE training, mainly intended for those PCV’s who are not in the LIFE program, but also to share skills learned in the field for those who are. After an introduction from the previous volunteer based in Dovu, we had a guest speaker from a Conservation Farming organization and then a quick session on composting. After lunch in which I ran to the market to get produce, my intake walked to the visa office which apparently closes at 1230 on Thursdays (I wonder why not Fridays) so we will need to go first thing mawa. The rest of the afternoon was spent discussing “resiliency.” We talked about what our challenges were and then began to try to find solutions. Although I’m not one to go in for discussing feelings and whatnot, it was a well done session and I probably got something from it. I was going to compose some emails and blogs but the power went out (yet another ARG in the technology field).
