Madiha

This ball has come to rest, for two months only, in Madiha. Madiha is a small, small town on the southern coast of Sri Lanka. You won't find it in the Lonely Planet or the Rough Guide. You will find the nearest other small town, Polhena, and the nearest medium sized town, Matara, where I am now using the internet.

My address, for anyone who feels post-minded in the next short period of time, is very simple:

Jennifer
Beach Inn
Beach Road
Madiha - Matara
Sri Lanka.

I welcome and return almost all my post.

There is so much going on right now and limited internet time but I promised to blog once a week for the project and will do so once things are up and running. For the last couple of days, a part from napping, we have been trying to round up the troops and see who is interested in my English classes. On Sunday we will try and do something with the classroom: an old school wrecked by the tsunami. On Monday things begin in earnest. Before then I have to learn at least the British alphabet in sign language, if not a few more sign vocabs. I've picked up about ten singahelese signs already and that's only the beginning. Starting Monday, two of my classes will be at the Rohanna school for the deaf and blind. So much to learn, so little time... more on all of this later, with links.
