So, A few things have happened since I wrote (but forgot to post) the last blog:
I have since learned that I will be attending 4 World Cup matches with Dave and Wally when they come to visit in June/July!
I have found a new place to live! Starting March 1st I will have my own “cottage” on a property that is closer to my school. The new place is a much more multicultural environment and seems to be just way more relaxed and chill in general…I’ll keep everyone posted on how that goes.
This week we are submitting a grant proposal for a pretty big project that will allow students and residents of the Soweto and Alexandra townships to learn about global warming and assess their vulnerabilities to climate change. I am working on this project with Teach with Africa, LEAP and a team of creative folks from Soweto. Cross your fingers for us!
Loved reading about the cultural "awakening". I experienced a bit of this in my short relationship with the RSA investors in good old Wyzdom. They were shocked at the ease with which the cultures/colors/races coexisted without concern our little company. One night my RSA visitor was worried to leave me alone after dark in my office at the corner of Stockton and O'Farrell street. And now reading your entry I think back to some of the strange comments they made about some of my staff. Anyway...more interesting cultural differences await you! Love reading the details!
