The land of Thai

Thailand, here I come!
I leave in 2 days to go to Thailand, I'm so excited. I'm really looking forward for some vacation time. I already feel like once I come back I'm going to have so much to do but it's nice being in Dakar right now so I can get as much done as possible, being at the office takes me back to working in the library during uni- I haven't been this studious since uni. It's a bizarre change in work atmosphere.

So the girls camp is coming along we're in the process of applying for the grant, and we've got everything planned. Of course there are the loose ends, but it's pretty far from now so it'll happen when it needs to. I've been trying to push the completion of all the loose ends to as soon as possible so we can perfect everything else, but it's not gonna happen, it's a good thing I'm totally able to turn work off when I'm in vacation mode. As I like to tell my Pulaars, my hands are clean. That sounds horrible, but I'm going on vaca, and the other volunteers I'm working with are completely capable of handling everything else, I'm just motherly over my work and feel guilty when I transfer what I consider my work to someone else.
blah blah blah...

I did a training session with the new volunteers, well I did one about behavior change, that was alright. I did another one for SeneGAD activities, I wish I would have more time so I could have done an activity with the newbies, but I think it went all right. It was my first time so I'm not going to be too harsh about it, next time will be better :). I've been hanging out at the office getting some stuff accomplished for SeneGAD, I'm excited to come back to country and be more energized for work. I feel like right now I'm mentally in Thailand.

I don't really have much planned for Thailand, I know I will be going to an elephant sanctuary May 19th, called Patara Elephant Farm; check it out. I'm really pumped for this, the elephant farm is in Chiang Mai. My plans so far are, arrive in Bangkok, hang out there for a day or so, go up north to Chiang Mai hang out there til whenever, go to Chiang Rai hang out there til whenever, go to Pai same... then make sure I get back to Bangkok in time. I've got a blue print schedule, mainly just so I know when I have to get back to Bangkok, because I'm anal about being on time to airports. Other than that I don't have anything planned. I know I want to do some thai cooking classes, rafting, hiking, water falls, sight seeing, etc. there is so much to do i wont have a bored moment. Suggestions?

That's my short update. loves.

*p.s. if you want to send me a package go right ahead the issue with the postal office is solved. If you're worried if I wont be able to pick it up in time (I have 3 weeks to pick up packages and i have horrible timing.) So to be safe, write PCV Hadiel Mohamed AND Amber Robinson, this will allow Amber to pick up my packages as well and save them for me 'til I return. thanks for the love in a box y'all.
