- October-December 2012: Pre-service Training
- I lived with a host family in this little house for 10 weeks.
- Our training site was Namaacha, a little town on the border of Swaziland.
- We had sessions on how to be a teacher, mozambican culture, Portuguese, and safety and security in Mozambique.
- December 2012: Moved to Moamba, Maputo
- I moved into the house pictured above which was located inside the walls of my school, the Escola Profissional de Moamba.
- I lived with another Mozambican teacher and a Portuguese volunteer.
- January-November 2013: Taught Chemistry
- I taught 8th and 10th grade chemistry for the school year.
- I was also the "homeroom" teacher to the kids pictured above.
- March 2013: Trip to Vilanculos with my cousin Lee
- We stayed at Archipelago Resort in an amazing house right on the beach.
- We took a boat trip out to see the famous Bazaruto island
- Saw a family of dolphins swimming right beside our boat
- January 2014: Moved houses
The Porch. My neighbor's door is on the far right side of the picture. 
Kitchen Area 
Finally got a bed! 
Bathroom. No running water here! - I now live in a one room cement house with a bathroom on the side (shared with the other people that live in my yard)
- I moved because the previous house was FULL of bats and I was having health issues
- I get my water from a spigot in the front yard that runs in the morning and at night
- I live outside of my school and in a nice neighborhood near my school
- My landlady is a teacher at the primary school and is an awesome person
- February 2014: Teaching Chemistry (again)
- I will be teaching chemistry again this year.
- I have less hours so it will leave me lots of time for other projects like our library, science fair and a health project in the makings.
