Training...encore

PST (pre-service-training)

I spent two more weeks with the G-22 education trainees that are almost finished with their 3 month training in Dubreka. While I was there they started practice school which is a 3 week simulation of what teaching in Guinea is like. Students sign up for summer courses and the trainees prepare lessons, teach them, test the students and grade papers. It was a trip down memory lane for us PCV trainers. It's amazing how much we've learned in one year. Many of the same students at this year's practice school were also there last year and remembered us PCVs, which is pretty incredible since we only taught them for 3 weeks. It's an exciting time for the stagiaires as it marks the end of training and it's the time when they're finally doing what they came here to do. Insh'allah they'll all be swearing-in next week in Conakry. 

While in Dubreka I also got to spend some time with my former host family. My family couldn't believe that I have less than a year left of my service and told me that when I left they would come to the airport with me to say goodbye. The thought of leaving this place behind nearly brought me to tears...ey Allah

Here are a few pics from my time in Dubreka:
