The other day very strange incident happened. Just before going to bed I switched on the fan and tried to set the mosquito net in order to get inside it. Suddenly there was a strange sound from the fan and when I looked up I noticed that the net got entangled in the fan. It was very scary sight. I switched off the fan switch, stood on the bed and tried to pull the entangled net. I could not do anything as it was too high to reach. I rushed to the reception. fortunately there was someone at the counter. He came to the room. He took the room table and climbed on it. it was too short, so he got another table and put it on the other one. I had to hold both tables firmly as they did not look strong enough. It took quite a while before he could entangle the net.I asked him, "has it ever happened before?". He smiled and said "No, this is the first time."I am not using the fan now. It is terribly hot in the day time but during day time we are busy undergoing various trainings and workshops. I am finding the Language course very tough. With the old age memory is really getting bad, especially the short term memory.In two days time all of us will be moved to a house. We all ( 8 volunteers) will stay together in that house till we are moved to our various placement places. I will move to Mansa Konko, a very small town. A hotter place and lot of power cut.
