Minimal Surprises

Because of the current Cholera outbreaks in Haiti, all Peace Corps Volunteers in the DR have to report to the capital on Friday for "cholera prevention training." What the heck they are going to tell us that 1)they haven't told us already 2)they couldn't tell us in an email or 3)through our cell phones. This is the reason we are "supposedly" given cell phones, for emergency purposes and to inform of us serious situations like Cholera in Haiti. But you know, apparently PC needs every single volunteer to come into the capital to tell us to boil our water and not eat clean vegetables.

And because of this new development, my girls exchange sleepover weekend, has been canceled. Postponed. I'm trying to stay positive. It has been postponed until the next weekend. Unless a tidal wave hits the island which honestly, is very well possible.

But I don't want to be like this. Yes, I'm annoyed. Yes, I sort of want to punch the administration of Peace Corps DR in the face for making a dramatic and seemingly unnecessary decision, but the point is there is Cholera in Haiti. People are dying from it and more are getting sick everyday. Please put your thoughts, prayers, vibes, rain dances (whatever you do) to help the West side of the this island to gain back its health and peace, while we're at it.
