hope you're having fun H Sue, god, you're so adventurous!! It sounds quite an experience, although not quite sure where you are exactly? look forward to hearing more, take care lots of love, Ali xx
Hi mum,
Sounds like you are enjoying yourself - I can't belive you are off to buy a boogeyboard - brilliant!. No real news to report here, Kevin is coming down to Bristol this morning to join in on the go karting action. I need to finish organising everyone - keep me in the loop
Sounds like fun to me Hello Sue,
Your first week sounds like fun, but also seems like a real culture shock, what with the lack of resources and to hear how the people live without things like shoes.
When you get home you will be dancing all the time while you are telling us about your time there. On South Today, (local news prog) this week they have been showing a school in Africa, which will be suported by Sport Relief financially. They seem to do a lot of singing and dancing during lesson time and there must be about 60 children in the room.
It is really interesting hearing all about your trip, keep on with the blog, it is great. Love Chris H x
Lovely to hear from you again Hello Sue, I was very glad to read your newest blog entry, good to know you are there and finding your way around. You will be keeping fit with all the dancing you are doing. Have fun, and work hard.
Love Chris H x
Hi Sue Excellent news that you did, after all, have extra baggage allowance as a volunteer! It would have been awful, if you had been unable to take all those donated readers and resources......
There is no doubt that you will be a HUGE asset to the school and the pupils, but, I guess, actually probably most of all to the teachers. Have a good flight! Enjoy! x Rose
Stay Save Hi Sue
My final nag before you leave ..... knowing how accident prone you can be, be careful, hope you have packed a first aid kit in your hand luggage :) Enjoy yourself, I am sure this will be a truely memorable experience for you. Michelle
not there yet Hi Sue, good luck, will we be able to stay in touch through this site while you are away? you will find plenty of ways to be useful, just be yourself, and enjoy the xperience. AlsonA
Bon Voyage (or the SA equivalent) Hello Sue,
All the very best for your trip to South Africa. You will be a great asset to them and they will probably want you to stay forever!
Love from Chris H x
I suddenly have time to try some new things. I always thought I needed a gap year but am starting the big gap. I didn't think I would retire and then it seemed like the right time. Now there are myriad choices of what to do, who to be and where to go. I am not sure going to South Africa to volunteer for a month is exactly travelling, but it seems an adventure and worth recording and sharing. It could have been a notebook, but this is the age of electronic communication so blogging is another adventure.... full info
