I'll use this blog to share my thoughts, ideas, dreams, findings, experiences and whatever else comes to mind, regarding my little mission to the Transkei (a rural area on the East coast of South Africa known as the Wildcoast). In short, what I'm going to do is teach English to whoever I can, learn to speak Xhosa, take photographs and do whatever else I am able to do in the community. My plans are to go in May 2011 and stay for an initial 5 months...then take it from there...

090611, Tuesday
My boys didn't pitch up for their class this afternoon, I suspect the ocean might have tempted them away... So I took advantage of the moment, and got one of the ladies to take me into one of the villages in search for a mama who knows how to sow and make skirts. My idea is that she makes one for me and if it comes out nice, I can perhaps order more from her and we can sell them to the tourists. Anyway, we never found the mama, but left the material and an example skirt for her to find. I was happy to bump into some beautiful people from the village though, and of course became a bit happy snappy...
