Hey everyone! Only just managed to get a very brief amount of time on the internet so decided to update this as I won't be able to e-mail everyone!

Firstly I'm fine! A little sunburnt as obviously not used to the hot sun here! Been a little ill from the water too but nothing serious!

Am staying with my counterpart Felicia who has just turned 25 with our host sister Lina (who's 24). Am very much back to basics from what we're used to in the UK! No shower and the toliet is a nice raised hole in the ground! But I'm enjoyin the challenge and i think my hair is probably a lot healthier from the lack of blow drying and straightening!

They're really nice at the house and Lina has 9 brothers and sisters so plenty of nieces and nephews that I'm often entertaining! I've exhausted all the card games I know!

Am currently volunteering at Cheshire Home for the disabled and mentally ill (which is where I am now). Working here with my counterpart Happy who is lovely! We're having a hard time invented new activities to keep them busy everyday but it's definetly good fun!

I have many stories which I'm dying to tell everyone (such as riding through a a storm in an open taxi at 60 mph, gettng lost up a mountain in the dark, oh and apparently nearly getting married to a few men from swaziland!) but will have to wait till I'm home to tell you all of that!

Hope everyone is OK and you all recieve the e-mails about this update! (If not this was a bit pointless!) Miss everyone so much but trying to keep myself busy so I don't think about home! As if one month has gone already!

Hope to be in contact soon!

Lots of love,

Susie xxx
