I would never have thought that getting immunizations would take so long... I guess I am here at least until Wednesday since I won't get my immunizations till around then... I think! I feel like I am on speed and I think I have dropped at least a pant size since I found out I was going from the excitement of course!
Anyways for those of your curious as to the actual location of the refugee camps, you can refer to the map below (courtesy of UNHCR, for a full view of the map go to http://www.unhcr.org/publ/PUBL/4541b7164.pdf) .
From what I know I will be working in both Yarenja and Sherkole. Yarenja being the smaller camp only 1,886 people left then there is Sherkole which is a bit bigger.
I was told that it was about 26 hours by car to travel between Sherkole and Addis... I will have to ask again, though I doubt I will be actually doing the journey by car very often! For now this view of reality will have to suffice but I PROMISE that I will take photos and try to render reality a bit more human and less "political" ;)
