anne’s village

Anne lives with a family, above a fertilizer store, in one of the two special education training villages. Arabic classes are from 8/9am to 1pm, lunch with our families 1-3 pm, class 3-5pm, and then more family time (this involves lots of good food and visits to other family members in the village) and hopefully some studying. It is awesome. She is usually greeted at the door and when she wakes up by the three kids- ages 3, 5, and 6 yelling, "Anne! Anne! Anne! "
