Today's progress... It's not done yet, hopefully tomorrow I'll post another pic.
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...

031112, Windows of opportunity
After most things were on stand still and absolutely no progress being made for what feels like forever, at last something good.. Great! The Reading Hut finally has glass in its windows!!! And the door can close...
At last it is a building that can close and you don't get blown away by the wind when you're inside. The rain stopped and gave us the chance to get that glass in and this time everything worked out after some chiseling and chaffing . Thank you mister Piet for all your help!
I suspect the birds that were making their nest on the roofpoles will be a bit disappointed when they return from their gathering outing and the dogs who jumped through the open window before will have to look for another shelter but as for me, I am pretty happy. Praise God!
011112, Thursday. “It can’t rain all the time…”
Today it rained
pretty much all day long apart from brief intervals of light drizzle. It has literally been raining since I arrived
here 3 weeks ago. That’s at least
half-way to 40 days and 40 nights.
At least I know God sent a rainbow and promised never to flood the whole
world again like that. Otherwise I
might be getting slightly worried by now.
