thereseZA: Happy Thanksgiving!
http://theresesouthafrica.blogspot.com/2009/11/happy-thanksgiving.html
Thursday, November 26, 2009. So I haven’t been very good at updating this lately. I’m sorry! I guess that I am suffering from that fact that I have just been in SA too long. I guess that I don’t find of what I am doing to be exciting or “blog worthy”. I mean I’m sure it is it’s just that nothing really shocks me or surprises me anymore, so it doesn’t occur to me to share it. WHAT HAVE I BEEN DOING FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS? So I won’t be finishing Peace Corps until March, so the COS conference was a l...

thereseZA: My adorable host sisters...
http://theresesouthafrica.blogspot.com/2010/02/my-adorable-host-sisters.html
Saturday, February 20, 2010. My adorable host sisters. Here are my host sisters with the bags I embellished with their names on them. They have designs they picked out on the back. Nothing fancy- I did these previously with my youth club and the girls wanted them too. Ugh, so gooooood. When can I expect a tote bag that I can carry around with me with MY name on it? Im still waiting for my crafts. February 20, 2010 at 7:59 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Bhekuzulu (by Estcourt), KZN, South Africa.

thereseZA: December 2009
http://theresesouthafrica.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 17, 2009. Ntofo, Me, and Nothabo. A giraffe that walked right by our car. One thing that everyone neglected to mention to me when I was planning this trip was that my 5 year old host sister Ntofo gets terribly car sick every single time she is in a car. I think it's because she is never in them (maybe 3 times a year? After the day was over! I must say it is pretty fun to expose people to great things for the first time. Their wonderment and excitement is always amazing to watch....

Nothing fancy- I did these previously with my youth club and the girls wanted them too. Friday, February 12, 2010. It's the Final Countdown. Just a quick update. Then, after that, I will be traveling with another PCV (by then RPCV) to Zambia and Malawi for a month and half. It should be exciting and will give me the chance...

Monday, January 25, 2010. I have been back for a couple of weeks now, but am struggling to write about my vacation for some reason.

thereseZA: September 2009
http://theresesouthafrica.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 22, 2009. I'm sorry for the lack of updates. Honestly, I am a bit stumped about what to write about these days. Anyone have any ideas? Saturday, September 12, 2009. Pandemonium at the playground. Wednesday, September 9, 2009. The playground has arrived. So 10 months later, an outpouring of support from the Near West Side, Clarkies, and Laurel girls and bam! The playground was finally built yesterday and today! Monday, September 7, 2009. I would just like to take this time out to say.

thereseZA: It's the Final Countdown
http://theresesouthafrica.blogspot.com/2010/02/its-final-countdown.html
Friday, February 12, 2010. It's the Final Countdown. Just a quick update. It's come down to the final 2 weeks in my village. Then, as the end of this month I will be going up to Pretoria to officially "check out" as a PCV (Peace Corps Volunteer) and boldly wander into the world as a RPCV (Returned Peace Corps Volunteer). I am really excited for the next chapter in my life, but it has become very clear to me that saying goodbye to this life and the wonderful people that I've met here will be very difficult.
