One week from today we swear in as official Peace Corps Volunteers! Our training has flown by and we've already been here for 2 months!
We have passed all the requirements necessary to become volunteers. The biggest worries:
For Charlie- passing his French exam- which he did today! He has made beaucoup of progress!!
For Miranna- teaching English grammer. Today was the last day of model school which means that Miranna is officially qualified to teach English in Benin- oh la la- a scary thought- the children of Lalo will soon be speaking English with a southern accent!
We will spend our last week of training in Porto-Novo learning Aja (our local language), filling out paperwork, shopping for supplies, and spending time with our host family. Last week we made banana bread for our Maman's birthday and they loved it, so we now have to teach her how to make it before we leave!! We're thinking about making them a Southern meal as well if we can find similar ingredients needed to pull it off.
