My grass is greener!

K.A.B. was one of the other three volunteers in my World Cup group. We have been refunded $10500 of the $13000, the remaining $2500 is on her credit card. A few weeks ago she was mugged in her camptown, all cash and Lesotho bank card stolen. New bank card, new week. When N.X.B. and her went to Bloemfontein to pick up our World Cup tickets (only to find out we have no tickets) she used an ATM and was scammed. Her Lesotho bank account was drained. She lives over a mountain in a valley where she has no access to anything, meaning she is able to save a lot of money for vacations. Peace Corps will only reimburse her for the amount of time remaining in the quarter, not the total amount in her bank account. Take that as a R7000 loss! They say bad things happen in three. Bad thing #3: She spilled boiling water on her leg, ended up with second degree burns, and as I write is in Maseru seeking treatment for her infected burns. Somebody cut this girl a break!
