for us, even though we know to use condoms.

Being a single women and living in Lesotho can be scary. We have a male-dominated society. There is a very high unemployment rate. Due to lack of wealth, there are not many self-employment opportunities.

This summer is going to be very exciting. Besides going on the drama tour, I will visit my mom and sister for two weeks. (My father died when I was two or three.) Then I will come back to school and work with David (one of our Peace Corps Volunteers) on our projects, such as house repairs, working on a concept paper for another drama tour, and conducting information workshops on HIV-Aids for villagers. The best thing is that I will get paid to do this! It will be my first paid job.

I am also going to present a workshop at a place where a Peace Corps Volunteer and I will stay in a hotel that has a pool. I love to swim and cannot afford to pay pool fees at the hotels.
