According to tradition every three to four years, during the coldest winter, the Ndebele King approves the boys to prepare for manhood. This initiation referred to as Circumcision School takes place in the mountains and the boys will gain community respect once it is completed. For four months the boys stay outside their parent’s home in an unknown rural area. This year, 20 cases of death caused by infec...

Believe in yourself and you will see. Wednesday, August 19, 2009. Meditation Retreat, about and around Cape Town. At the start of July, I ventured to Cape Town, where I celebrated a very special time-my one year anniversary for living in South Africa. I attended a 10 day, silent meditation retreat and explored the big city on the coast. Once my flight arrived in Cape Town, I took a scenic drive in the mountains. Center located in Worcester, a rural setting 2 hours from city center. I choose a cot next to...

Usually, there is nothing that can distract me from my cultural obligation to this holiday.

Previously, the South African Missio...

Believe in yourself and you will see. Saturday, October 25, 2008. Would love to hear from you. Preservice dancing at Umpho's families home with Umbali, the best little dancer I know. Can we as educators interact with learners while being compassionate to their prior knowledge and unique backgrounds? Phone calls home to a few friends and family: And I so adore at least hearing their voicemails as they provided just enough remembrance and those I speak with me, share that there is very little that is chang...
