Hello hello from South Africa! Though I've been gone only a little more than 2 weeks, I feel like there is so much to tell, but I will just have to give the basics for now.
After a somewhat stressful trip here (flight delays, rebooked on other flights, having to navigate the Johannesburg airport with ALL my luggage), I made it safely to GGA. My first couple weeks have been crammed pack full of new names, faces, and experiences. As far as my living situation goes, I share a room with 3 other girls, all who are very nice and who are also relatively new to GGA. We're in the process of making the place seem more home-y. I share livingroom and kitchen facilities with about 10 other female volunteers. I cook my own breakfasts and lunches and usually eat dinner from the GGA kitchen, which means I'm trying a lot of new foods such as Zulu cuisine. I'm still gaining my footing and finding my place here at GGA.
Unfortunately, I don't have internet access very often (probably about once every 2 or so weeks), but when I do I will do my best to let you know I am alive and about my goings on here in South Africa. The best way to keep in touch at this point is still regular mail and my cell phone in case of an emergency. But I did want to let everyone know that I am doing well and am enjoying the new pace of life.
Much much love!
