The Great Depression of 2008 has ended here in Quelimane! With the arrival of Carolyn, the anthropologist working with FGH in Nashville, came the arrival of my new debit card. This last month has been what I consider to be a character-building experience. I'd like to take a moment to thank those who have helped me avoid insanity and malnourishment:
1. My lovely mom--She has been my advocate and has spent many hours on the phone harassing the bank people on my behalf. Not only that, but she has listened to my frustration-induced rants. Without her hard work, I'd still be moneyless.
2. The Bank of Amy--my sugarmama and source of no interest loans.
3. God--for making rice so cheap and filling.
4. The district of Nicoadala--the pineapple capital of the world. Thank you for selling delicious pineapples for less than a dollar a piece.
5. FGH--for having a week long training session for new employees here at the office and every day allowing me to eat the leftovers from lunch.
6. The Furuma Family--our Moçambican family who reminds us of the Cosby's. Thank you for charging us cheap rent and for giving us delicious ata fruit from your tree. And thank you for inviting us to your family wedding this weekend. (For real, we're going to our first Moçambican wedding on Saturday! We got a formal invite last night.)
