Hello Again! SITE ANNOUNCEMENTS

Hello All,

I am still loving life over here. It is an amazing experience and I am learning a lot about myself as well as about South African culture. I really feel at home here and it is sad to think I will be leaving my "family" (the PCTs, the Training Staff, and my homestay). Though sad, I am excited to be moving on in the PC process. Here is some general information about my site placement, which I will be visiting next week!

I am in the Mopani District in Limpopo.
The village is Ga-Matshwi.
I will be working with two PS (primary schools).

According to a list I found my village has load shedding from 18:00-20:30 on MWF. I am trying to find somekind of a map, but it is not working out right yet. so hang on. No luck if you want to try to search I am about half-way between Polokwane and Ginyine (not sure on the Spellings). Good Luck Looking, if you find a map, please post as comment or send to Andrea so she can post.

I am out,

Love,

MaKayla

I wasn't able to find a map of Ga-Matshwi, but google did give me one for Limpopo. Since I had no idea how to post it as a comment, I just decided to add this to Makayla's blog. That should give us a general idea of what part of SA she's in. :)

It is actually me

Hello World,

So for now it is actually me posting. I have been in Africa now for 3 weeks. I am absolutely in love with it here. everything from the people to the culture. My family is great and consists of 6 brothers and sisters ranging from 7 months to 17 years. Everything is going great and the internet is kind of slow so I will keep it short and sweet.

Love to all,

MaKayla (Lerato)

PS~ SEND ME LETTERS :)
