Training Center

So, I know what you're thinking, where has Kelly been?! Well, not on the interwebs obviously. I'll be taking this time to update you all on the last 7 weeks of my life. Let's start with training - the above pictures are from the training center in which we spent our first week here in Lesotho. The Training Center makes me miss flush toilets, but more on that later.

The Training Center is all bunk beds - which helped us get close to each other as soon as we met, whether we wanted to or not. My room of girls rocked, but again, more on that later. The guards are super fun, the staff super nice, and the water super clean. Ahhhh, filtered water. Oh yeah, there are amazingly hot showers. I miss showers...

Every day was structured as such: Breakfast at 7ish, Sesotho (language) in the mornings, lunch, then some afternoon how-to's about Peace Corps life - how to bucket bathe, etc. Pee buckets are also involved.

The Training Center was our temporary home in Maseru, the capital. Whenever we get bussed in, or take a combi to Maseru, us volunteers rush to the Training Center for hot showers, toilets, heated floors, TV, movies, books, and just general r&r.

All in all, the Training Center is pretty sweet.

Oh, and, that bus picture was from the day we departed the Training Center for our respective villages. We all look so fresh and clean.
