The Last Days in Katutura

So this will be my final blog post from Namibia for this year. Hopefully, with alot of luck, I will be here again next summer (their winter), at the BNC, and researching my thesis! I spent this morning in the Craft Centre, the big craft shop in town, and soon will be heading out to my next to last day of work. These past 9 weeks have flown by, but they have been so incredible, educational, and eye opening. I have seen things here that you would never see in the US, but are normal for the people living here. Tomorrow is my last day teaching, and my last day at the center. I spent the weekend hanging out with the kids: Saturday I went to "Mommy and Me" soccer for girls, then hung out with the kids at the BNC that afternoon for several hours, playing 4-square and getting my hair done. Sunday I went with 2 other volunteers to the center of Windhoek, to Zoo Park, where we played soccer, ate cake, and played cards, just having fun with the older kids who we don't get to see as often as the younger ones (due to boarding schools, exams, and the fact that the kids in grades 8 and above go to a different program). So it was a lot of fun. Now I am just getting ready to start packing tomorrow night, and getting ready to head back to a first world country where I drive on the other side of the road, where I am in the racial majority, and where I have to get ready to go back to school. Although, to end the Namibia posts, I must say, gong back to school this year is something that I have been looking forward to for a VERY long time! Look for my next posts...from ATHENS!!!!!
