Update 13 February

Life 70 kilometers out in the bush is moving
along at it's usual pace. The work with the
cultural group continues (picture - group
working on list of songs) and the kids are
not only getting better but also becoming
extremely creative. They've made about 5
more new songs. It brings up a point about
culture. Culture is really an ongoing process.
As the kids have learned old songs they are
also making new ones.
The main part of my work has been in the
direction of behavior change. Working with,
for example, the cultural group, the goal is
to keep the kids engaged and hopefully down
a good path.
It has been almost two years since arriving in
Namibia and in the 3rd week of April it will
be the second year anniversary in the village.
I have asked for and received one more year
in Namibia. So, this time next year I should be
writing about a third year anniversary.
There are quite a few things that can still be
done here in the village. So I decided that I'd
stick around and continue to hopefully help out.
So, there is another year of blogging ahead.
