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
