Anyone who wants to come to McLeod Gang within the month should! Shawn and I are now almost settled into our big beautiful, quiet apartment here. We have 2 bed rooms, a living room, and big kitchen with utensils. SO great!!! And to top it off our new neighbor is the Dali Lama!!! Literally! The house is right next to his compound. We have a view of the valley below from our balcony and a whole roof top! It is costing about $250 for the month! We went shopping today for food which we can cook and store in the fridge. I could stay for a while. Funny its a new story than a month ago. I wish I could have you all over for dinner. We do have friends here though of who are coming over tomorrow. I'm feeling happy! It is also so peaceful because Tibetans, praying as the walk around the Dali Lama's compound are also circling our home.
There is also some intensity as there is a hunger strike at the top of our street. There is no violence but people are really focused on gaining freedom to have their home land back. I hope I can lend help and support during their difficult time.
So tomorrow we meet with the director of the school and learn more about our teaching. Our students are all adults
We live next to the coordinator and he is very nice. He helped us clean today. Told us a little about the volunteering but we are not sure if we have a whole class or one or one but probably a whole class!!
So come to visit us soon:) If you can and you can have your own room!
Peace, Love and, Light
