Fish Ponds & junk

I'm trying to write an article for a newsletter but PCV BRETT is talking on Skype and is being really loud and I can't concentrate. Do you read my blog Brett? If you do you should keep your voice down in the internet cafe, cause it's really distracting.
Our new project in the village is to construct some groovy fishponds. We found out that ministry of fisheries will supply juvie fish and feed for one year if you pay to have the ponds dug. I'll be drafting a grant proposal soon that all you lovely people back home can donate money to in order to help us fund our pond. The money made from selling the fish will go towards school fee's for kids in the village and on going projects like building a community hall. I'm lucky to be in a village where they recognize you have to have patience and that I am not here to simply hand shit out or find wads of cash to give to them.
I was in labasa town this past weekend. I had a spectacular time seeing some PCV's i don't get to see that often and also I was surprised to have the pleasure of hanging out with some PCV's from Viti Levu who were doing a work exchange up here on Vanua Levu.
Sorry, but I don't feel very inspired to write much more, anyways i'm supposed to be writing some articles and now i've become a distraction for myself.
