It´s all new and not so new

Well I have been here now for over two weeks...It´s all new but on the other hand it´s not. I see people I met in august last year and some of them even remember me!!! I also meet new people, very friendly and intresting people. Also I met this young girl which is deaf, she tries to speak in sign language to me which I will have to learn soon. She gave me a name in sign language, first she makes a letter L with her fingers and than she makes a face with blown up cheeks and makes a movement with her hand next to it to make it look even more bigger......Children are so honest...Who ever says in your face BIG CHEEK...well it´s my name now. During the day I do a lot of research on the internet. Need to find a list of special schools around in this area, have to see what kind of organisations are working in the same area and much more...It´s a nice job to do but I do get frustrated because there is no clear structure. Well I will have to get use to it.

Been in some of the townships nearby, it was my first time. It was/is a great experience, the people live in small houses(some just a room size) but as South Africa is so beautifull they have a great view. A view we all dream of. But for all the people to get to their house they have to walk very far and also they do not have real roads to walk on and some even live down in a valley.Sometimes it takes 2 hours walk to go to school or work. Days begin ver early around 6 in the morning. And I thought I started early! This is it for now, will be back.....Big kiss

Arrival

Yes I arrived at South Africa, Durban !!!! It´s great. I have got a nice guesthouse which is big enough for me and some guest!!! The house is part of a land where the owner of the house have their main house. I have got some dogs walking around to take care of the people who are not allowed to walk on the land, they still have to get used to me being there but David Bowie (one of the dogs has one blue and brown eye) will be going to be my friend.I can walk from my house to our working place. It´s a 5 minute walk through beautiful landscape. I try to be at work at 08.00hrs, YES THAT IS EARLY FOR ME HAHAHAHA....but here the morning starts already at 06.00hrs. And I have no traffic jams any more !!! Maybe I will see a cow on the way or some monkeys that is it. Soon I will put some pictures on the weblog. Next week I will tell you more about every days "business".....not a day is the same.
