Hi Justine, Your letter arrived today and Damian read it aloud on the bus on the way home from day-camp ( where this week they will be studying china: that means Tai Chi in the morning followed by Caligraphy, which he is very good at and Olympic Games) Everyone seems to really like him there and his Chinese name is Min mim . So, google says Hhohho is in the North of Swaziland; isn't that where you were hoping to go( the place that hadnt had a volunteer yet) I would pay good money to see you teach a class in siswali...you go , girl !
So I googled Hhohho South. I think I figured it out. Hhohho is like a provence or something in the northern part of Swaziland. (The country seems to be divided into 4 of these) Hhohho South is like a town or someting near the town of Hluti in the southern part of Swaziland. Right? There's not a lot on the internet about Swaziland, so that could be totally wrong. But it still took me like an hour to find that much.
I hope you're enjoying it still. I can't wait to see pictures of your new home!
I'm a graduate of Washburn Rural High School in Topeka, Kansas, and American University in Washigton, DC. In May 2008 I graduated with a degree in International Development in Africa and packed up my life to move to Swaziland. I served as a "Community Health and HIV Educator" with the Peace Corps from August 2008 to August 2010, then moved to Tanzania to take Swahili classes for 4 months. Because I want to.
On this Blog I post ridiculous tales of my travels, stories of ongoing volunteer projects I find myself involved in, and photos beautiful enough to make you want to come visit me (hopefully).
