Malaria Attacks

This is not going to be a very long e-mail, well at least I am not planning on it being very long.

I am in the Internet cafe this morning trying to upload photos on facebook because I spent 3 hours yesterday trying and they never worked.

Things here are good. I am so happy and the more time I spend here the more I feel wanted here as well. I was on my break on Friday afternoon and I got a phone call from one of the boys. He was using one of the Aunties phones and he asked me where I was. I told him I was on my break and then he told me that I needed to find him when I came back because he wanted to play Monopoly with me again. I was so happy that I was actually being looked for to come back to the orphanage.

Moses has malaria and so does one of the volunteers. For the past week I noticed that Moses had been quiet and not running around as much. I as really worried but he still seemed happy and was smiling a lot. Once I found out that he had malaria I found it amazing that even though he was so sick he was still the happiest child in the orphanage. I am really worried about malaria. I wasn't worried before I came but I found out here that there is a lot of vomiting that goes along with it. The mosquitoes have been getting a lot worse and I am just hoping that I am being careful enough that I miss out on that great experience. haha

My roommate left yesterday to go travel Ghana for two weeks and my other house mate Claire leaves today to go back to Britain. I get two new housemates tomorrow and then another roommate in a week. All is well here.
