Marking marking marking: an essential part of teaching but dull dull dull.

A parcel from mum containing posters, a copy of The Great Outdoors magazine (lots of homesickness-creating photos of hills in the UK) and decent chocolate!!!!

Demis, who is the Logistics Officer at the VSO office in Addis Ababa, arrived in Awassa today with Brian, who works in the London VSO office but who is on secondment to the Ethiopia office for four months. Us Awassa vols got a free meal at Pinna Hotel and enjoyed a social night with a completely different dynamic from our usual vol get-togethers. Having a new person to talk with, along with getting to know Keith a bit more, is refreshing and stimulating.
