What the hell am I doing?

As I mentioned earlier, last week I was hired by IVHQ to work until October 15 to help fix some problems and integrate new volunteers. So here is what I have been doing:
Wednesday:
-ran orientation for new volunteers
-did excessive 10k + walking tour of Arusha for the hard core
-received an awesome new roommate who will only be here for a week - an aussie who lives in Dubai (the more she tells me the more that I don't believe Dubai exists and furthermore am actively shocked that anyone would ever ever want to live there)
Thursday:
This requires more detail. Dealing with Aggrey is kind of like entering into a vacuum of negative information. Words cannot convey the amazing powers of confusion that this man has mastered. I will try to explain what happened.
The objective was to gather together several different orphanage volunteers and take them to their projects on the first day. I think he changed his mind 3 or 4 times on where volunteers were going to be placed without informing me or them before we arrived. He told me he was taking joanne to her orphanage (which was closed due to Ede) so he could show her where it was then we would all meet together to go to another orphanage for 2 other volunteers, then we would take Joanne and one other volunteer to another orphanage just for today that was open on Ede. While he did this I was supposed to go and take the other volunteers to Mwanama where i work because their orphanage is nearby. We were told to wait there for him and he and Joanne would return and then we would deliver other volunteers. He returned without Joanne - apparently he just took her to a totally different place without consulting anyone. Joanne later related to me that he had called the orphanage when they were waiting for the dallas dallas to see if it was ok that he bring her. Then we took the other volunteers to the Nun run orphanage. (this must have also changed since originally they were going to be at an HIV orphanage). I have no idea why things kept changing, but this is really just a sample.... i wont go further with this explanation because you would really have to be there, but ultimately working with Aggrey is like placing your head in a toilet that is filled with chaos and flushing it repeatedly. This is the man that I have to work with to make sure that all the host families are paid. I am going to have a mental abortion.
-Later on in the day I visited with the new organization that will be taking over for LIVE. They seemed pretty decent.
-I attended a volunteer dinner - the first one with all volunteers gotten together since I have been here - awesome, finally a growing sense of community right before I will leave.

I really want to want to stay longer and to not feel a need to be involved in the election, but really I am getting tired and I don't know what would be gained by drawing things out more when I am moving to NYC when I return and could keep some money to travel elsewhere earlier. I have learned a lot since I have been here, but you can't really resurrect a program this late in the game for those who have been here as long as I have. I am invested in helping them fix the program now, but it is really disappointing that it is going to improve through my labors and I will not see any benefit from it.

Friday (today):

-Took 3 girls to their orphanage projects
-I saw a guy carrying a steer's head in a bucket. AWESOME
-went to my teaching project for the first time this week. (it was a holiday week anyway)
-was told by my students that I should never leave and they will be so sad when I leave because I am not replaceable. I really like them. I will be working more next week. It will be hardest to leave my students. I am trying to get someone who can replace me before I go.

My current plans are developing as follows with vast room for flexibility as no flights or buses are booked:
Leave for Zanzibar on October 14th or so (10 hour bus ride of pain plus fairy), somehow go to Tanga and Dar, return to Arusha (another 10 hour awesome ride) on maybe the 23rd or 24th of October to make sure the books have arrived and also retrieve my crap, depart once more for Dar es Salaam to fly back to NYC between the 26th and 29th of October. Go to nearby swing state. Work until it is over.
