Va from la in AFRICA. DURiNG PC (personal aspirations). Monday, October 8, 2012. Developing strong leaders for tomorrow. We discussed many topics including HIV/AIDS, STIs, alcohol and substance abuse, relationships and peer pressure, communication skills, health and nutrition, importance of volunteering, money management, and gender roles.just to name a few. In between, there was plenty of time for fun (including but not limited to) campfire, dancing, jump rope, movie night, s'mores, and arts and crafts.

Va from la in AFRICA. DURiNG PC (personal aspirations). Thursday, December 29, 2011. God is Our Interior Decorator. This is my favorite line in a book I just finished: Kurt Vonnegut's Sirens of Titan (upon Knowles' recommendation). Me and my friend, Tebogo, on World AIDS Day. She served as an usher for the event. I look silly, but we couldn't seem to coordinate a good photo, but you get the idea. Kgosi Oscar speaking to the VIPs including ambassadors and Botswana President. Kgosi let me wear his fur.

Va from la in AFRICA. DURiNG PC (personal aspirations). Friday, September 21, 2012. Smells rank. the back corner serves as a barber shop and strangely enough reeks of urine. you can buy pretty much anything at the rank including tonight's dinner, clothes, shoes, sunglasses, dogs. you can play a little pool, get your hair done, have some ice cream, get your shoes resoled, recharge your phone, and make new friends if you take the time to do so. She asked that I take her photo. She is selling "airtime" ...

va from la in AFRICA: November 2011
http://vaventures.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Va from la in AFRICA. DURiNG PC (personal aspirations). Thursday, November 24, 2011. On this fine Thanksgiving Day, I find myself evaluating notions of home and what constitutes a space as such. Is it merely a physical entity with style and decor that represents you and your aesthetic? Is it an emotional respite; a place of unconditional love and support? Is it just a space of shelter, to store your things? For now, pasta and soy will suffice and sitting in front of a fan to cool off! On my way to the of...

Va from la in AFRICA. DURiNG PC (personal aspirations). Thursday, February 23, 2012. How do you make people care? In a word: Disenchanted. I should know better than to get too excited, because there are still a lot of logistics to figure before it actually gets done. Also, I should note that getting the phone line is just the first step to getting internet installed, so there is more to come. Keep your fingers crossed people. Ps Furniture is here! Tuesday, February 7, 2012. So what's a girl to do. Lavend...

Va from la in AFRICA. DURiNG PC (personal aspirations). Thursday, April 19, 2012. That, my friends, is a bucket of sorghum. Super nutritious, but I'll just say it doesn't dance on your taste buds. It's really ok with a little milk and sugar. Tastes like oatmeal, feels like grits. Working on drawing cartoons this particular day. Let the drawing begin. Another reason I am feeling pressed to get this mural going and completed is because winter is fast approaching! I wish I had more photos to share, but the ...

va from la in AFRICA: TRAVEL
http://vaventures.blogspot.com/p/travel.html
Va from la in AFRICA. DURiNG PC (personal aspirations). I should really make this more like an interactive map, but until I learn to do that, this will have to suffice. In addition to the various townships and villages that hardly make the map like Khakea, Tsabong, and Lethlakeng. Namibia (Swakopmund and Windhoek). Mozambique (Maputo, Inhambane, Tofo). Places I'm Going: (or hope to go to within the next year! South Africa (Capetown, Durban, and Johannesburg (again). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Va from la in AFRICA. DURiNG PC (personal aspirations). Sunday, May 27, 2012. Winter is here and this time, I'm prepared. I wrote an entire post last week titled “Cynics Corner” if that’s any indication of the tone. I will postpone my posting of that piece for the time being. Instead I’ll tell you about a few things going on here as of late. Some as big as your head. Playing in the sunflower fields near the South African border with Julia. The map is almost done! I haven't traveled since January vacation...

http://vaventures.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Va from la in AFRICA. DURiNG PC (personal aspirations). Wednesday, August 22, 2012. I’m so tired. I am tired of trying to rationalize why the system is as such, and I can find no justifiable reason other than the security in conformity and the confirmation the comes with following protocol as a measure of success. That’s not what it’s about. Isn’t the need to repair these kinds of things self evident? Until next time,. Thursday, August 2, 2012. Earlier on, I was so intent on having a schedule and some fo...
