The work the world house has become my home away from home. There are currently 16 people in the house but the number varies depending on who is on weekend trips or if there is a group in the village. I am sharing a room with three girls- Val, Tara, and Aneka. Unfortunately our room only has three wardrobes and four girls so we have a bit of sharing we have to do with our closet space. It basically means there are suitcases and clothes everywhere all over our room. I also realized that I can add bunk beds and mosquito nets to things I used to think were cool and are not. I would really just say they are dangerous. Especially when you have to get up in the middle of the night in the pitch black and end up almost going head first out of your bunk because you get tangeled in your mosquito net.
Our common area is a big open space with couches, chairs, and tables. We spend a lot of time hanging out there reading or chatting. Next to the living room is the dining room, it's a huge table and so far we have all managed to fit around it for dinner. Upstairs there are more bedrooms, our Swahili classroom, and the balconies that have nice views of mount meru. In the back of the house are spouts and buckets for laundry along with some clothes lines. In the front of our house is a big open area where we have our weekly Thursday night barbecue.
The house is super comfortable and all of my housemates have been wonderful. It's been great getting to meet all of these new people from all around the world.
