Rundu, Namibia
Namibia is great. We are now in Rundu, on the Angolan border. We have been here 6 days and are settling in well. We are sharing a house with 3 other volunteers, Linda, Karin and Rose. Rose goes home soon so then we’ll be 4. Our house is a bungalow with a hot shower, a cooker, a fridge and all we need. It’s very hot here in the day when you are walking along but it cools down in the evening. Everywhere is very sandy, the gardens and the roads, so it’s hard work trudging home from the shops. The school is fine. the classrooms are about the same size as in SILD and there are only 14 blind & VI children at the moment in the 2 classes, but the teachers don’t have much of an idea what to do with them. I am having a great time collecting things. We sang 10 blue bottles today and used some long, rattley seed pods to sing shake your shaker, so it’s just like home but hotter!!! Must water the tomatoes, cabbages and mango tree. Bye for now. Love to everyone.

Oh mum….I love how you just snuck in there “..must water the tomatoes, cabbages and MANGO TREE”!!! Like having a mango tree is just an everyday occurrence to you now!! haha
I’m glad you are back to your old tricks of collecting stuff, you must be settling in. And as long as you are singing 10 blue bottles I know you must be happy and content.
