Welcome to my humble blog-abode
Salut, mes amis!
This is the journal I'll be using from September through to January, as I live/work/play in Cameroon and simultaneously try (really, I will) to keep in touch with all the lovely folks at home. I would love to hear your feedback and stories, so please keep me updated every now and then. (Don't forget that my school email works, too.)
Missing you all (almost) already,
Mara/Mar(mar)/Marrah...sigh/Marita
Chloe/Chlodes
P.S. The "almost" refers to the "already," not to the "all." I really WILL miss all of you...yes, even the ones who smell funny (Axis of Evil and Pah, you know who you are!), break my things (careful with the boomerangs, boys), and forget everything (boys, again).

Good luck with Cameroon. My uncle always loved the name Yaoundé, but particularly loved saying it YOW!-ndé.

i miss you so much i guess this is the fastest way to get to you. i received your pink letter the other day and let me tell you it brought me into tears. i have been reading all of your writings and it makes me think so much about cameroon and i miss it so much not one day goes by where i don't get lost into my daydreams about cameroon. I really enjoy your cooking recipies because thats one thing i forgot to write down when i was there. My flatmates love it! I'm so proud and impressed with all the tasks you are accomplishing, you are totally up for all these things even in French!!!!
on another note it's good to think about a fiance, i even had a little ridiculous ring i wore thinking it would stop some of the men but the truth is they just look at you and say "i'm polygamous it don't bother me" hehe
most of the time you have to laugh it off or respond in a joking way. Anyways, enjoy enjoy enjoy and never forget that at the other end of the world lots of people are thinking about you !!!
gros gros bisous ma belle mel
Hi Mara,
I came accross your blog while checking out a few links to orgs in Cameroon. I am a Cameroonian myself, but live and work in Southern Africa. I happened to have been in Cameroon, and passed through Dschang in December (2006). Your piece on Dschang and arrival in Cameroon was wonderfully written. Your observation that "Cameroon poverty is not an issue of laziness, but rather a misdirection of effort" is very apt. I hope that your time in Yaounde was not as duanting as you feared and that your remaining stay in Cameroon was great. I am also developing a blog at http://forchehn.blogspot.com/
see you there.
