I'm back in Botswana after a winter of being away. I spent a month in Zambia doing 40/40, a month long "break you into Africa" time. It was lots of fun and full of great experiences including riding public transport, and camping in the African bush, visiting villages every day and finding out about african culture and daily life, and living with an family in their village for a weekend.
The Mwanza family (Homestay) The Hut we slept in
One of the villages we visited African dish prepared for us by our Zambian Helpers
(It was very good!)
After that I came back to Botswana for a couple of weeks but lived in Lobatse helping some new missionaries settle into language school by taking care of their two children. I then went to South Africa to help with SL Training. It was on a mountain and very very very cold! Missionaries were going to the training and I was there to help with the kids. It was good fun and I really enjoyed getting to know the missionaries and spending time with the mk's. That went on for three weeks.

I then had the opportunity to help a family who was at the training but had an unexpected situation come up and needed a driver for their volunteer team. I volunteered and got to go to a very beautiful part of South Africa, spend time with an great family, and even see the Indian Ocean.
But now I am back in Botswana and awaiting the university students arrival back to school. Hopefully my access to the internet will be more regular and I will be able to update this thing more often.
Here's hoping. :)
