Part 3: Adjustments

Part three: am feeling discouraged so later I post to Facebook about language difficulties. I make alternative plans for the day: to meet my counterpart and plan for the week. Also to meet with the owner of a bread/tea/coffee shop who is a young mother and who I am becoming friends with. To see if she is willing to be one of the families I work with and, if so, to complete a household intake form with her. I go to my counterpart's household where her mother runs a restaurant in the front room. Outside the restaurant I meet with a health center midwife and we plan a project for Wednesday. I meet with the cheerful and friendly restaurant owner (CP's mother) and eat a delicious lunch of injira, lentils, greens and potatoes, total cost about 30¢. ☺
