Found a translator

So, Sandy and I found a translator to go with us to United Women. Ivana is so sweet. I think that sandy and i might have been a lot to handle but she is a trooper. After a 20 minute bus ride to our placement we got a tour of the safe house and met the kids and moms who live there. There were large gates outside of the building for the women's safety. (I will post pics later)
After politely not requesting coffee, turkish coffee was placed in front of us. Since I have to have milk and sugar in my coffee in order to not have a caffine meltdown, I went to pour milk in my cup and got it all over the table. Realizing that i didnt need anymore i passed the milk to sandy who proceeded to spill as well. Amela and Dragona thought it was the funniest thing and it lightened the mood of the meeting. Leave it to me to add humor to the siutation.
Finally when our meeting was over, we got onto a cramped bus with no air, with about 50 people. I thought that I was going to melt to death or die of suffocation and leaving this world beause of overwhelming body odor is not the way i wanted to go.
