| PC Training Center...int he rain! |
It was really interesting to see the process PC goes through
to design trainings, and it was a really good opportunity to make our own mark
on training…since we’ve all been through it before! Each sector went through the whole process of
determining the KSAs (knowledge, skills, attitudes) needed for each program,
deciding what competencies were needed after training, writing learning
objectives and then sequencing them and organizing sessions around the learning
objectives….it sounds really boring, but it was actually the most interesting
workshop/training thing I’ve done here! (I also think I liked it because it was
really, really structured and detailed…and I like those things!)

We worked long days but we still had a ton of fun. Everytime
we are in Mantasoa, we get fed really well. So much good food. Snack twice a
day. And a huge bowl of popcorn all day, every day. Staff knows how to
get volunteers to work…bribe them with good food! (And do our laundry in a washing machine!) I also recently acquired the
game Cards Against Humanity (thanks JENNA!) so that provided hours of
entertainment. Especially when our regional advisor decided to play with us.
Aside from the awkward moments of laughing at politically incorrect humor with
our boss’ boss…it was really fun. And good bonding, you could say.

| Excited about delicious food!\ |
Back in Tana, I did “big city” things…went to the grocery
store, ate Thai food, and caught up on internet times. I’m heading back to site
now, hoping that the cyclone that was hitting the E. coast yesterday, didn’t do
too much damage!
