GAD Weekend

I can't believe that March is over! The month really flew by and right in the middle of it we had a freak rain storm and then the dust kicked up again and it has been freakishly cold for the season. By freakishly cold I mean 105 instead of 120. The month was capped off by the annual fund raiser for the Gender and Development program which supports volunteer projects with small grants. The fund raiser consisted of a date auction one night and a silent auction and dinner the next and almost every volunteer in Benin came. I think it may have been the most fun that I have had so far as a volunteer and a lot of money was raised to support the program and that is probably the best part.
