Lucky, definitely! If you do feel you might sweat your housing situation my advice is don't. Be prepared for the least effective accommodations and maybe you'll get a surprise. The best part is my location, being surrounded by the majority of teachers/headmasters/admin for the surrounding schools systems. There are 8 schools within the Madera region and I am lucky to be close to town (few miles) and deep enough into a community I have ample opp's to have cultural fun.

Well let me update you!
1st - we (meaning me) have internet now, which is MTN mobile internet (max rate 236kbps) which costs 420kshilings + air time which is 90k shilings a month. Not great but can blog + more :)

2nd - What is my job description? I am currently at St. Mary's All Girls Secondary School. The subject I cover is chemistry. A secondary school is basically the equilvalent to US highschool, ranging from S1 level to S6 level. Withing the levels S1-4 are considered O (ordinary) level and S5-6 are A (advanced) levels. Currently the school covers 11 subjects CRE (christian religuos studies), Commerce, Arg., Chem, Physics, Biology, Math, Geo, Hist, English, and Fine arts. Originally schools in Uganda (secondary) could provide 18 subjects but as policies change they have begun to limit subjects to help provide more focused education for students (I am not sure if I agree upon the method). The classes that I have taught thus far are S2,3, and S5. My O-level students number around 250 but A-level only comprises 4 students.
Other projects that I am working on for the school are as follows: grant writing, IGPs (income generating projects), Chemistry Club, and soccer coach.
