Daily Schedule

A few folks have asked about my (Phoebs), “Daily Schedule”…most days

• Wake up and make the bed 6-7am, tuck in mosquito net to prevent creatures in bed
• Make breakfast with windows and doors closed (Coffee, oatmeal, homemade yogurt and cereal and/or fruit)
• Dishes in two dish bins (similar to camping) in the house
• Sweep and Mop the floor while spraying for roaches and moving around rat poison
• Look for Water at the neighbors and fill up h2o tank, then clean the shower before the electricity turns off in the whole Batey
• Yoga 10-12, shower with a bucket afterwards (Always)
• Make and eat lunch with all the windows and doors closed
• Walk around the community, have a bit of coffee and chisme (gossip) and tell community members and parents about the classes offered tonight
• Reading hour with whomever comes to read, hopefully the students whom need to practice their literacy skills, the electricity comes back around this time….
• Meeting in the afternoon with one of the organizations or/a break to prep
• Make a snack and eat it in the house or eat a snack at the meeting
• Go running with a group of wild girls
• Teach English, girls group, adult literacy, or Sexual Education until the electricity goes…when the light goes, class is over…
• Make and eat dinner with Dan…and yes everything closed again
• Sometimes visit and play cards
• Wash feet, hands and face…very important to prevent parasites
• Off to sleep…ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz, and then we wake up when the electricity goes

*Please note, no internet access in my life on a daily basis…this is very special when I get to use it. For meals, all the windows and doors must be closed while eating or preparing food or we are expected to provide food for anyone that walks by…tall order when a dozen people walk by the house sometimes. We are learning more and more daily…Peace, Phoebe
