"bike race," that is...so here i am, rocking tamatave, a big city on the east coast. this week was the fourth annual bike race to fight HIV/AIDS, and i arrived here in town on tuesday to help out. we spent a couple of days working in different teams, teaching at schools or to other groups of people about HIV/AIDS, and then yesterday we spent all day working at the bike race, foot race, and rickshaw race to promote HIV/AIDS awareness/prevention. my job mostly consisted of sitting in a tent being swarmed by people. it was awesome. i head back to good ole' lac alaotra tomorrow, and then next week my friend ben is organizing an HIV/AIDS week at his site on the other side of lac alaotra, and then in november things really pick up...girls' camp, trip home, mom and dad and dan here at christmas, etc.
i don't have time to write a whole lot, mostly because we're about to go get lunch. it's not a good excuse, but at least i'm honest. more later BYEbye!

So good to catch up with your news this week Kathryn. Sounds like the HIV/AIDS week activities were a big success, which is great. Hope it goes great for your friend Ben next week as well. We looked up Tamatave and saw that it was on the coast, so I was going to ask if you had any free time to head for the beach, when I read that the waters were shark infested - so guess you didn't feel like a swim?! Hope you enjoyed rocking tamatave anyway! Thinking of you. Love, Beth and Andy
Hi Kathryn,

Love, Aunt Sue
