HEADED FOR THE BUSH

Ga-Mathabatha Area

I'm leaving for two weeks on Tuesday morning via Greyhound bus from Joburg to Polokwane, (6 hour bus ride) where I'll be picked up by Knowledge, who works for the NGO that will be hosting me (another 2 hour trip, most likely).  A PCV is located in the village and has been very good about answering lots of questions about my trip and will be providing me with his bucket system for purifying the water. (He also said he'll play some cards with me in our free time, yay!)   I'll be staying in a lodge which has electricity but not sure about other conveniences, except I'm told I should be able to get on the internet.

 I'll be helping learn/teach the NGO about operations.  It's a ZCC community (Zion Christian Church) which is very conservative so I will be taking skirts/dresses but plan to also take tennies and pants to do some hiking/walking in these gorgeous mountains!  Am excited!
