back at it

So I am home.

Home and working. I have started a position at the Mustard Seed. My offical title is Visitors Services Support Worker. I work in the main center where people come in off the streets. I work at the door, in the dining room, and as close as I can with anyone who needs a hand. This is exciting.

I really enjoy this picture, Daniela first showed it to me.


I am currently loving the Rosie Thomas cd "These Friends of Mine"

And I just read that:

One of the ironies of courage and why we prize it so highly, is that we find it easier to be brave for someone else than we do for ourselves alone .

There's no believing in God...We either know God, or we don't.

Those come from a book set in India called Shantaram.

Keep well, and feel free to drop by the Seed. Bring yourself, or a bag of old clothes, or some willing working hands.

Kgotso.

one by one hidden up my sleeve

Good day.

Nicole and Ciara here!

I won't write much because I can't post many pictures and I don't want anyone falling asleep whilst reading my blog. I will just tell you that we are very safe and having way to much fun. We have seen the London sites, we went to an amazing play called The Woman in Black, and we found the best pub last night. We have explored markets of all kind, yesterday we went to the biggest market I have ever seen in my life. We have experienced hostel life and tomorrow morning we are flying to Ireland.

I am home home on the 23rd, and miss Ciara arrives on the 26th.

This one... Ciara and I went to a modern art museum. Really cool place, but as you can see.. very modern. I totally get this picture.. but it is probably way over your heads.

This one... Ciara and I went to a massive market yesterday and we wanted to stop and eat some cherries. We sat on this wagon. Then some guys, you can see them in the back ground, thought it would be funny to wheel us over to the pub where they were sitting. They were strange and old so we left. But at the time, as we were coasting over, hilarious.

Ok and this one.. Me and Ciara are really good at taking pictures of just our heads. We try to make sure your really have no idea where we are, we avoid all possible scenery. But I have heard that some of you just like to see the faces.. to know that the loved ones are ok.

love and thanks

we miss you like we miss you

Hello,

Today was my last day in Africa. I can't really believe it. There have been times here where it felt so very long, but today I didn't feel like four months had passed. I am very glad because today just felt like an ordinary day and the younger kids didn't know that we were leaving.

Here are some pictures from the week.

Haha. This is me with Rachel and Meagan in some traditional wear. Ladies in red.


Here I am with the lovely Tankiso.


This is me with Louis and Gaelyns family. They are the wonderful fruit market pair.



And this is Regina and I with our matching cheeks.


Today we were the honorary guests at a school concert and if I could thank you all the way they have thanked us you would be in awe. We listenned to beautiful choirs, saw some really fun dancing and ate a traditional meal.

I do want to thank all of you who have been reading! Your emails and comments and ears to listen mean so much to me, and really keep me going.

I fly out of Johannesburg tommorow night and then I am meeting up with Ciara in London on June 6th. You will probably hear from me before I am home on the 23rd, but we are spending a few weeks around London and Ireland. I am so excited to see that girl.

I must go and finish packing and vat vat.

much love, for the last time from South Africa!
kgotso.
