Right now, there are seven people total living in the guesthouse: Doug and Lisa, myself, and three other volunteers: Katie, Leenisha and Kira. Our power is pretty sketchy, which is definitely expected, so we mainly find ourselves reading and chilling by candlelight and lanterns, which actually completes the relaxed, African atmosphere we got going haha, it’s great. It’s pretty nice honestly, and I definitely look forward to coming back and just chilling after the clinic. We each get our own room with a bunk bed and a huge shelf in it, which makes it way easier to sprawl out all your stuff and arrange all the crazy medications we have haha. My room, along with a few of the other volunteers, is located in a separate building which is only a few feet away. Then there’s a kitchen area, which is basically your standard kitchen, and the rest of the house is composed of rooms. The volunteers here are awesome and always down to play, so it definitely is great to pass the time. So far we’ve been playing a lot of Skip-Bo, which is definitely addicting, Bananagram, which allows me to hone my Words With Friends skills haha, Cranium, and a few others. You know, it’s kinda sad that no one plays board games anymore and that they’ve been sorta phased out, so it’s nice to get back into it. We also have a ton of board games, which is nothing but awesome. I find myself randomly just browsing the shelves for cool things to do or for things I might need. It has a ton of books that volunteers have left behind or that Doug and Lisa have collected, movies, all sorts of extra daily items like mosquito repellent and suntan lotion, speakers, flashlights, you name it. To the left is this awesome shelf, which in my opinion is basically like an archive of all things FIMRC. and is where we all spend the majority of the time.

The FIMRC Guesthouse is awesome! In just a few days time, it’s already begun to feel like home to me! So you walk in, and to the right is basically the ‘family/living room’ area, where we basically sit, chill, play board games, read, do our computer stuff, etc.
