Heyy
Happy new year!!!
Altough we didn't really celebrate the beginning of 2013 because the new year starts on 11. September and christmas is on 7. of January. So I will experience the christmas celebration in Dhadim.
I'm totally fine, I live in Dhadim with the two fahters Anthony and Boniface and the three sisters Annie, shirley and ancia. We have two kitchengirls, one of them has a son and there are a lot of chicken and 4 goats. And the two dogs Beauty and Bobby, which I really like. Every night there is a night gardian because of the stealing, there is also one in the school, in the kindergarten and at the klinik.
We have a seperate Place, with a house for the sisters, a house for the fathers and a house for visit, there I have my own room. In my room I have a bed with mosquito net, a closet, a washing trough. I can take a shower every day, but mostly it is cold water. Also because the warm water takes a little time to come but I don't want to waste the water to much, so i just take a cold short shower.
So, we travelled from Addis to Awasa, on friday, where we stayed the night. That was a great travel, because I saw a lot. First thing was, the people here still use drudges and carriages with horses and donkeys. People were often selling things besides the road, was quite funny to watch.
Then we travelled the next day through the mountains to dhadim. There I am since 3 days now. In the mountains there were a lot of green plants, but still everything is thursty. I enjoyed the travelling a lot because then I can see a lot.
In Borana land the ground is red and extremly dry, it should rain. It is dusty and hot, but not too hot, if you don't walk straight under the sun.
I have seen the little village, the school and the kindergarten and the klinik. Borana exists of a few diffrent little villages, in which they speak a dialekt of Oromo. I want to learn it, because I want to comunicate with the people and not be dependend of the others.
On sunday morning I went to the mess of father Anthony. I didn't understand much because they all speak the borana language and I don't. But at least they sing beautiful.
Today, I was finally helping in the clinik, I helped with the vaccination of the babies. I didn't do much, but at least I did something. And tomorrow I will go to the Kindergarten to play with the children and teach them English.
Right now I'm writing this in Yabello, about 30minutes from Dhadim. In Dhadim we have no Internet and the Phone is also only working at a few places.
I hope I will soon have the chance to come to yabello again to write something, but I have to wait till some one goes so I can travell with them.
Best wishes to everyone
