Well I've only been here since yesterday evening and it already feels like such a long time. Our flight was ever so slightly long but i was extremely happy that our first plane was showing both episodes of friends and glee!! :)

Im staying with a family in Kloof, slightly inland of the city, and they have a lovely house with 2 children and a dog so we are very fortunate with our accommodation as we have both an on-suite, access to internet and are having meals cooked for us.

Today we went into the valley of a thousand hills which was such a beautiful place yet full of run down shack like homes, there is where our project is based called philangethema. We got to see one of the schools we will be helping teach in and some of the women from the income project program sowing items of clothing, if I remember correctly is for selling as fairtrade clothing. As we drove back up the hills we saw all the children walking home from school some much have only been of the age of 3, walking alongside busy roads but they all gave us massive smiles and waves as we drove past.

Im sure ill have much more to write shortly as today was only our kind of briefing session so it was more of listening and taking in information rather than getting involved. But i get what you mean Dan about South Africa getting under your skin, I love it :)
