The water is not getting turned back on. We're still in Pretoria but taking the overnight bus back to site today. Peace Corps is giving our org 3 weeks to find us alternative housing. If that doesn't happen (which is very possible), we'll be moved to another site. We don't know where we might go, but it won't be in the Eastern Cape.
We're fairly disappointed and sad, but, as this point, we just want to know what is going to happen and move on. We're fairly anxious about going back to site. It's going to be hard teaching, working on projects, playing with the kids, etc. when we know there's a high likelihood of leaving in a few weeks.
Anyway, please hold off from sending any mail/packages for now. We'll keep you all informed.

Nothing Works
Our water doesn't work. Our fridge doesn't work. Matt's ipod, watch and sunglasses aren't working. And our laptop is making crazy noises. At least it's warm.

Water...ugh
Quick post to let you guys know that our water was turned off by the govt. Even though we have been paying what we owe, they shut it off due to the huge past bill from the owner. We spent the weekend in East London, and we just need to make it thru the week b/c we have a training in Pretoria (yes, again) next week. The problem is we don't have an outhouse or taps in our village, so our house isn't really livable. Our supervisor is going to try to take care of it this week, but it would take a miracle for it to be turned on w/o a significant payment. We have no idea what is going to happen, but we'll post more when we find out anything.
