About Me

So here it is...finally I have got round to creating a blog (something I should have done months ago)! Hopefully this will be of some interest to someone out there...? Either way, it will be a place for me to keep track of my journey with Project Trust, and record my highs, lows, and most memorable experiences in South Africa. I will be spending 12 months volunteering in Thembelihle, a home of safety for at-risk children in Mthatha, starting 25th August 2011...'a year in the life of a Project Trust volunteer'!

Black Curls

So I lapped on the sunscreen ready to go to the field with the kids when I was told the children would be spending the afternoon having their heads shaved…something they have done every couple of weeks or so, I guess to keep the nits away and to keep them cool in the 36°C heat we’ve been having! So I offered a hand and ended up spending most of my afternoon doing it – was actually a very satisfying job (just look at the concentration on my face, haha)! Shame about the sticky sunscreen though, as I came away speckled in teeny little black curls all over my body which would NOT wash off!
I’ve decided if all else fails, I’ll be a hairdresser when I return home…
