Today I concluded my summer job of exercising horses in the Clifton/Fairfax Station area. I met some really great people and feel really happy to have made such great connections (future job possibilities…?). I also found out what a small world it is and what an even smaller…

Today was our final day working at Kapadzera school. I was really proud of our group since we really had a lot of energy today considering how rough it’s been with volunteers getting sick on and off. I videotaped our morning songs, so if I find a way…

Today was our first day at Kapadzera school. We were joined by a new translator today, Amon, who replaced Owen since he was struggling with some of the translations. Lately we’ve been taking the Land Rovers instead of the bus since they’re so much easier to…
