Training is 11 weeks, and halfway through we switched homestay families. This isn’t the way training is normally done—we are the first group that they’re trying this on. The health trainees started out in the village (Nyamsong and Lablé) and the Agros were in the city (Bafia) and now it’s the other way around. The two are pretty different, which is why we were given a chance to experience both environments. It was really weird to move though, because I had just started getting comfortable in the village house and then had to start the awkwardness all over again. I think everyone doesn’t enjoy that our families compare us to the person we switched with a lot, especially if they liked the other person better. I’m glad to be in the city now because my host mom is a good cook and I have an indoor bathroom, but it would have made life a lot easier and it would have been better to have only one homestay.
