Conor has been officially sworn in as a Peace Corps Volunteer and is now in Fatako his permanent assignment. For those interested Fatako is near Labe a regional capital. He has asked me to post his "office hours". To receive a phone call he must climb a hill and then climb a tree (not kidding). He will be in his tree every Sunday from 11-2pm Eastern Standard Time. If you call and its busy keep trying as it can take some time to get through. As a reminder his phone number is 011 224 665 43719. This of course if your dialing from the states. For those that want to call I suggest you download skype to your laptop/PC. IT is only .18/minute to call him this way. Go to http://www.skype.com/ and follow download instruction.
He is doing great. He is healthy and content. His home is a three room concrete duplex. While without running water or electricity he has a bedroom, kitchen, living area and indoor latrine. His biggest challenge is he doesn't know how to cook- he will learn. School starts on Oct 15th so he is preparing for this while learning Pular the local language-which he says is rough going. The village has one generator but is has a 'movie club'. Every now and then the guy who owns the generator hosts movies for the village-and will charge cell phones. Conor of course has joined the club.
Anyway he would love to hear from you during his office hours.
