This blog was started in 2008 to reflect on my volunteer work in South Africa. My intentions to live in SA stem from an attraction to what rises out of a place grappling to find a new identity and the people struggling to find their place in a new democracy. I stay on, not always knowing why I am here and what I have yet to accomplish. This blog is an exploration of my time, my limitations and my triumphs in this land. I hope there are some pearls to glean for those who read these postings!

Viljoenskroon
So I just received my placement information for my first volunteer experience, with Dramatic Need (www.dramaticneed.org). I will be staying with a couple on their farm in Viljoenskroon and teaching at 4 different primary & 1 high school in the area. I've had to be very patient and take lots of deep breaths with regards to not knowing exactly how things would pan out, so I can relax a bit more now. More specific info to follow.
