Homestay/ Cell phone

It feels like I've been in Mali forever! There's so much to say but I guess if I leave anything out or you want to know something specific comment or msg/email me!

My Malian name is Kadiatu Cisse. I almost dont answer to Veronique anymore :-)

Right now I'm in training and I officially become a volunteer in Sept. I train at a training site but I live with a host family for two week stints. There I do intense language classes and cross cultural lessons. I'm learning Bambara, which about 80% of Malians speak and A couple neighboring countries speak it as well.

Oh yes, I HAVE A CELL PHONE. I dont have anyone's numbers bc my old cell is stateside. But you can call me and its free for me to get calls or texts. So here's my number 011-223-78455481. There's a five hour time difference from Central time. So its 10am here but only 5am in Chicago or IC. So get skype or something and call me!

Thats all for now.
Lots of love!

  2. Missy, will be changing wireless companies soon cuz verizon sucks!!! Really. The new service we're getting doesn't have wireless service 2 Mali but we cat text you. Bird says he has a card that can be used on any phone. Tried 2 explain that the service I'm getting doesn't have service 2 Mali but he insist that this phone card will work anyway. He knows all....
