Purpose Statement
- Tara Stone
- Hello, Lumelang, Khotso! everyone. This blog is my way of staying connected and letting everyone know about all my exciting adventures in Peace Corps Lesotho. My position with Peace Corps is as CHED which stands for Community Health and Economic Development. My focus within this will be working with agricultural practices at a High School and hoping to work more with medicinal gardening at the local clinic. This blog is going to consist of personal journal entries I have written previous to when I am able to access a computer and general thoughts on living, working, and being a part of the Basotho culture. All ideas in the blog and opinions are my own and do not represent those of the Peace Corps.

Venti-no-whip-lowfat-pepermint-javachip-frappachino
As I sat in the greenhouses on Friday I did some thinking. It was about 96 degrees outside, meaning it was around 110 inside the greenhouse. Joanna came in for her shift bearing my favorite Starbucks beverage, followed by Trish with the same... EVIL! Then I realized..... there will be no ice as well as no frappachino's in Lesotho. In Lesotho all the water is boiled to sanitize it. In the winter this will be no big deal, the water will cool, I'll enjoy a nice cool glass. In the summer, I realized, I will have to drink basically hot water. No big deal, some studies show drinking warm water is better for you when you are already warm than cold water. I'm not too worried about it, just a thought I had while dying of heat stroke, hallucinating.
