Well, I’ve been here for 7 weeks but it took Mark to point out that as we are below the equator the water flushes and spins the opposite way!!
Well I’m here now. I was in Cape Town for about three days doing a cultural immersion training thing. Very interesting and informative. I’ll put an update about that,too tired just now!

Well, i’ve got… less days now. I leave on tuesday! The shipping is still not quite finalised, hope fully soon. All those fantastic items will get there.
I’m getting very nervous, and excited, and sick, and nervous.
I packed last weekend! Everything is done. The freezer is packed (can hardly open the drawers) for the hubby. He’ll only be here for 6 weeks so should survive.
Looking forward to it.
thanks for my pals who sent messages and for those lovelies who came to the night out. Great to see you all. I’ll try and put photos on face book.
Well I now only have 6 days of work in Scotland.
The shipping is being organised through the organisation so all the fantastic items that have been generously donated will go to those who will really benefit from it.
I am going to be working in the Sunshine centre in Soweto for children.
I am getting very nervous and excited.
I am already pretty much packed and organised.
I’ve booked my tickets!
I still don’t have a program yet… trying to wait patiently!
I’ve also had my immunisations.
🙂
Well, I know I’m going to Soweto. I wiil be going in October.
I will be involved in a hospital and clinic and children’s hospital but I don’t know to what proportion I will spend at each place.
I am working on gathering equipment to ship over there so let me know what items you might have that would be usefull over there. x
