On the radio

This morning was a momentous occasion-I did my first ever radio broadcast! One of the radio stations in Kita, my regional capital, allots a one-hour spot to Peace Corps every week, so the volunteer in Kita and myself are going to do a radio show every Friday morning. This mornings broadcast was amateur at best; I spent most of my airtime greeting people back in my village to whom I had promised shout-outs. I think there is great potential for our show, though, both as a way to do lessons and public service announcements and as a way to improve my Bambara.

Other than that things have been fine. My biggest frustration here is still language, followed by work. The cold season is approaching, which is lovely. There is a rumor that we are getting internet at our regional house, so I may be able to post more pictures soon.
