Volunteering in South Africa. On Friday, July 24th, 2009 at 14:36. A few days ago, Sylvia came into the office. (You remember Sylvia—the star of our somewhat-shelved docu-video series? She came to tell us th at her house had blown down. I couldn’t believe it! Sylvia’s ability to cope with tragedy is incredible to me. People around here have faced so many horrible things, and somehow they manage to be grateful for what they have, rather than what they don’t. What a horrible thing to have happen! 25 out of...

Volunteering in South Africa. What would you do with 500 chickens? On Friday, March 27th, 2009 at 16:24. Give them to Village Health Workers, that’s what! Yesterday, a truck full of 500 fully grown chickens was delivered (from funds raised by ASAP) to be distributed among 33 VHWs. That’s 15 chickens a piece! There are 13 other chickens in that box! We’ve learned not to be surprised when stuff like that happens (ALL THE TIME). The project manager told the VHWs to bring their own boxes. Appar...So, not eve...

Volunteering in South Africa. Attack of the Orphans! On Thursday, August 13th, 2009 at 16:31. No, no, don’t be alarmed. It’s just that we finally got around to making our South African zombie movie!

Volunteering in South Africa. On Friday, April 24th, 2009 at 11:28. View of Lesotho from Mamohau. Rosemary, project manager of Mamohau. While we were there, we did an interview with the project manager and some of the Mamohau officials. We ended up shooting over 3 hours of footage and we got some great stuff. But that didn’t happen. Probably just as well. Mobbed by kids in Masupha! But we were made to feel really special, and it was a great honor to be included in the festivities. But they take Rand.

Volunteering in South Africa. On Tuesday, February 24th, 2009 at 12:23. So I told him we wouldn’t post the photo. Sorry!

And then to New York for Andy’s graduation (yay! We’re going to leave you with a belated post of Thank Yous to the many helpful people we’ve met along the way. Helpful people in Cape Town. Helpful people in East London. Helpful people in Matatiele. Getting stuck on an empty country road after sunset could have had a very different outcome, so thanks guys!
