On Saturday, August 2, our training resumed in Kingston as we all took our respective public transportation (ugh!) from our sites back to the teachers college. It appears that the training is running thin with a number of the trainees (I agree) as most of the recapping of our two weeks on site was discussed the first day back and we're still discussing it after day 5. Everybody seems anxious to get back to their sites so that planning can continue...some have had very little to do because of supervisors being out of country or out of touch...others have already settled into a work schedule five days a week. Margaret and I have scheduled meetings to address needs in the community and the hospital. We sort of fit in between the 5/days per week and the nothing to do crowd.
Today (August 6) is Independence Day in Jamaica...1962 they became an independent country. We head out to a cultural event/celebration tonight, have a few more language lessons tomorrow, and then head back to Chapelton until Saturday, August 23rd when we head back to Kingston for final tests and swearing in ceremony on August 28th at the US Embassy.
