Sanibonani! That is hello in zulu, the language I am now learning. I'm typing this from my newly acquired smartphonen so this is slow going. Its been about six weeks in south africa. I've lost about five pounds, developed allergies to both mangos and the sun, have met many fabulous people, both american and south african.
I'm on mý way to polokwane for a conference to meet my supervisor. I'm going to be working at goederede clinic in bundu, mpumalanga province. It's the same place as our training site, so I'm hitting the ground running, with tons of contacts I've made already and ideas for secondary projects coming at warp speed. -'m really happy. And excited about the next two years!
