Janine Martin and Melody Bennett live in Blolequin (Also spelled Blolekin). Melody and her service familyThey have done most of their service work together in several different places, including a maternity ward and in a dispensary giving vaccines. Later they will be working in a Baptist Mission Hospital run by an older American couple. Melody lives with Gervais and Genevieve Oulate and their six children and several others spanning the ages from 1 to 19. She enjoys teasing the children and has nicknames for them all.

Janine and the Akre familyJanine lives with Ferdinand and Helene Akre and their one-year-old boy Romy. Two teen age girls live with them in order to go to school here in town. Janine notes that her host "mother" is only two years older than she is but nonetheless seems to be more mature in her role as mother of the family. The family will be moving soon to get back to people of their own ethnic group with whom they are more comfortable.
