Cape Town. One of the oldest cities in Africa. Home to one of the New 7 Wonders of the Natural World. Host of the most recent soccer World Cup. Home to me for the past three months. It has been a wonderful ride. You will be forever in my heart. Alas, my time in Cape Town has come to a close. I wrapped up work on Friday. I was indeed able to complete my spreadsheet. It was indeed very large. That was essentially all I worked on for the last two weeks. On the p...

Hello! In two days, my time here is Cape Town is limited to two more weeks. The time is flying by and I am loving every moment of it. On the work front, all is well. On 28 October, we held another Racism and Xenophobia Dialogue, this time in Wesbank. It was held in a school and we were able to have students participate.

Being sick sucked, but mostly I just longed for great food. Thankfully thoug...

We had nearly 200 people come, which was somewhat surprising considering the short-term notice we gave to everyone....

Hey everyone. Once again, my blog is late. Sorry. lol. The days just fly by. It's insane to think I have already been here almost a month. On the work front, not much new has happened. Our dialogue was pushed back from last Friday to this Friday. We were unable to find a venue for last week and, thankfully, we were able to get one last minute for this week.
