The teachers have been writing about their lives, getting on the internet and presenting their teaching demonstrations. Their writing is wonderful, on a variety of subjects that touches our hearts. The weather is very hot,just like the summers in San Antonio. Our classroom is not air-conditioned but the teachers take it in stride, it's the Americans who are wilting.
We went to the Indian market and bought some beautiful fabrics after class. Ngokoana is keeping us busy sightseeing, inviting us to dinners and introducing us to her family, relatives and friends. Nakedi is staying on campus because we are far from her home, like all the other participants. They are both doing a great job co-directing the project with Dr. Makalela. This project is more like a retreat or summer camp since the teachers are staying on campus and we are catering all their meals. They are together day and night. We're even working tomorrow, Saturday, but we have Sunday off. We have bonded and I look forward to working with them everyday.
This part of South Africa looks a lot like South Africa with hills (and mountains) and beautiful plants and trees. We're amazed at how many of them we have at home, but then they came from South Africa to the U.S. All the teachers send their best wishes and look forward to connecting with you.

How exciting! I can't wait to see pictures and read the anthology. Tell Ngokoana & Nakedi I said hello.

I have always known that Dr.Henkin will visit South Africa some day but she came sooner than I expected. I love having her in my country,my home and in my life.I an impressed by her professionalism which I feel will take the Limpopo writing Project to heights unknown. She enjoys porridge very much and my daughter is smitten with her.

Hello, Roxanne!
Blessings from San Antonio to you and all in the Project. Your entry is tantalizing and I wish I could be with you all there to partake in the comaraderie and culture of South Africa. We did miss your special energy at the meeting today, but you are doing much good where you are. Stay cool and enjoy yourself. Talk to you again soon!

Ok, third time is a charm.
I, too, can't wait to read what is being written. This is such an amazing opportunity for all involved that only greatness can come from it! :)
Reading Dr. Henkin's posts makes me long for our summer together, crammed into that little room.
Positive energy and well wishes to all (and please give Nakedi and Ngokoana a big hug for me) :)
