Knysna 2009

Welcome to Gary, Lesley and Hena's BLOG !

Thursday 11 June 2009

Fun and games for rest of journey - will update - but all went well.

Early morning here...am eating porridge...Hena and Lez STILL getting ready...other volunteers left..sat with Sharon ( project organiser ) on her computer. Views from here amazing across palms and towards Knsyna bay. And it's warm.

So many cultural differences/ extremes to tell you of on a future post.

BUT suddenly things have got serious. Induction from Sharon yesterday spoke of rape, abuse, beatings, kids with NOTHING, varying thresholds, NO qual SW support, desperation......travelling up to Township soon - anxious but confident of our skills.

Must dash...

Take care all...

Gaza, Heni and Lez
