The Call Out

In case you were wondering where i've been, well i'm still right here in Lichinga... I have had every intention of writing a new post for ages now and i'm sorry i haven't ... My excuse is this: There's just so much happening, and too much fun being had! Don't believe me? Well why don't you come for a visit and see for yourselves :)
Seriously though... there is an ENORMOUS need for someone (or more than just one) to come out here for a bit of a stint to look after some pretty awesome kids while the parents get stuck into learning the language here! My ticket home in January has been booked and paid for, and while i have every intention of coming back, the need for someone is now...do you think you could do it?

You may be asking...what is it that i actually do?

Well, looking after the kids obviously takes up the majority of the time. You don't have to be a child care worker or a teacher, but it helps a lot if you like kids!

 I had an opportunity to take part in the language program, so you'll get to learn a new language (tick that off the bucket list!!!)
and you get to live in a completely new culture/environment (hello widening view of the world)

Spend time with the rest of the team... man, they make that one real easy! It has been an amazing blessing to be able to spend time with each of the people on the team, learning from their experiences, and deepening friendships with them... oh and it doesn't matter if you're an introvert or extrovert- they've got both sides covered well!

If you are even slightly considering coming out for one month, two, or more then please please please drop me an email at sallypenator@gmail.com and i'd love to explain more about what is involved and encourage you in this decision :) Trust me, i was planning one month here, then three, now it's nine and i'm not looking back!
In the paraphrased words of a wise old man i know, "If there is even the smallest seed in there- you've got to let it grow or it will just die" Not everyone has that seed, so if you even have the slightest bit of interest in missions, or assisting in someway over here- please explore that!

And that's my advertising thing over....i promise i'll write an 'update' soon!!!

Peace!

Four little visitors!

Check out these adorable kittens! They're my little visitors for the next week while my friend is away... I'm pretty stoked to have some feline company around- and i think the Beeck kids are too! In the words of Jack: "they are soooooooooo cute" :)
