What a Week

It has been one of those weeks that makes a volunteer think they should may be just pack up and go home.....

For starters I really didn't want to tell you all this, but the Women's Walk for International Women's Day... yes the walk that my sports class helped me make ribbons for and plan, no one showed up .... I stood waiting by myself for an hour outside the Darchebab until I gave in to the realization that no one was coming. I don't really have the heart to tell you all and I really thought that it would work out, so I may send out an email with a lie in it... I'm not sure yet.

Speaking of my sports class, I have been unawear that a 1-2 months ago a new organization started to claim that they are running the sports class and have been telling the members all sorts of things and made them pay 10DH extra (which is kind of a lot) because they had to join the organization in order to come to sports class. (What??) When the president informed me today I was not so happy. It's not about the credit, it's about being honest and respectful. If they would like to run the sports class I will not only let them but help them. At the same time they need to have an actual memeber of the organization participating with us. This means that I will have several meetings next week when the mudir comes back.

(The mudir is in Rabat for training right now, I am hoping he comes back with a bunch of new ideas for the darchebab. We could really use them.)

It was a rough couple of days getting some of my kids to understand that just because the mudir left does not mean that their manners can leave too.

Although tonight was wonderful... we had a really fun class, everyone participated, and was respectful... God knew just what I needed. (other than a vacation)
