Photo Gallery #54- Stage 2005, Part I

I spent 10 days in N'Djamena and Darda, working at Pre-Service
Training, aka stage. It was a great opportunity to get to
know the new Volunteers, as they began their Chadian adventure...

Meet Mark, Kimberly, and Megan.

Zach, living the typical PCV life.
Steve and Sam.

While I was at PST, the Trainees were doing 'Model School,' practice teaching. Due to a logistical mistake, SIL in N'Djamena was never booked, meaning that we commuted to Darda and back each day. Here's Kristen, who was in charge of the bread supply.

Along with Chad- yes, that's his name. Kimberly too.
As well as Brian and Chewy. His real name is Zhu Long, but apparently that didn't melt in your mouth well enough.
Rhiannon and Fan.
Adam.
James, Rachel too.
Since I was officially at PST as a Volunteer Trainer, I was given a private room, a luxury none of us had during our training.
Complete with fan, and yes, electricity. It only worked occasionally, if ever though.
In order to arrive at Model School in time for the first classes, we had to leave Darda by 5:30 every morning. Sarah, Rhiannon and Chewy, looking excited to go teach.
Kimberly, looking almost as excited.
