One of the Canadian teachers at the school is being forced to move from her home by October 20th. Apparently the home in which she lives is being given to another missionary family that will be coming, and she will no longer be permitted to reside there.
In her search for a room to stay, she has encountered a friend that will be moving and leaving behind an empty apartment. She has inquired with me about the possibility of living there together and splitting the rent.
Right now this is just an option as she continues to seek just where to stay. She has been offered another place with a Peruvian family, but is hesistant to accept. I haven't minded living at the school, but it definitely has its challenges. Curfew, people questioning when you leave/where you're going, freedom in the kitchen, not to mention never truly being able to escape from your "job". However, it's nice not having to pay a bus to take me to school and being able to just run upstairs to change before heading out at night.
There is a possibility I would get a housing allowance if I moved from the school to an apartment. The other foreign teachers usually do. The housing allowance would cover the rent which is my biggest concern. Now we'll just wait to see what happens and pray that God would open doors if this be his will.
