Hey Everyone!
I'm on a crunch for internet time so here's all the highlights from our stay in South Africa thus far:
-Landed in Jo'burg on the 22 of Dec and went out to a tiny little town in the Free State to spend Christmas with two Cameroonian priests, Father Emmanuel and Father Silvester. They were wonderful hosts and we all (me, Liz, and Julie) spent a fabulous Christmas together. Ended up doing a little volunteer work in one of the Townships in their parish and had a quiet Christmas dinner with a French couple that attended mass in the Town.
-Next stop, we spent the night with a couch surfer in a small suburb outside of Jo'burg. We had a Mongolian BBQ and spent the evening cuddling with a pair of humongous Canadian Timber Wolves (our host was involved with volunteering a a wolf shealer).
- After our night with the wolves we spent the day in Jo'burg center at the Apartheid museum. Got to spend the day getting a better understanding the history of South Africa.
-Off to Cape Town! Took an overnight bus to the Cape and have been staying with couch surfers who live at the base of Table Mountain. Thus far we have... gone to a movie, ate a ton of good food, tried sushi for the first time, went to the beach, went a vineyard, went to the botanical gardens, climbed Lion's head Mountain, went to Boulder's Beach to see African Penguins, hung out with other backpackers, new year's eve on long street and meeting the most incrdible people from all of\vewr the world

ReplyDeleteSorry to bother you. My name is Ray Blakney and I am a RPCV from Mexico. I am working on a 3rd goal project with the PC regional offices and the main office in DC to try to create an online archive to keep the language training material made all over the world from getting lost. I have created a sub-section on the website my wife and I run - http://www.livelingua.com - with all the information I have been able to get to date (from over the web and sent to me directly by PC staff and PCV's). I currently have close to 100 languages with ebooks, audios and even some videos.
The next step for this project is that I am trying to get the world out about this resource so that it can not only be used by PCV's or those accepted into the Peace Corps, but also so that when people run across material that is not on the site they can send it to me and I can get it up for everybody to use. I was hoping that you could help getting the word out by putting a link on this on your site at:
http://hokiepokieincameroon.blogspot.com/
so that people know it is there. There should be something there for almost everybody. It is all 100% free to use and share. Here is the specific page of the Peace Corps Archive:
http://www.livelingua.com/peace-corps-language-courses.php
Thanks for any help you can provide in making this 3rd goal project a success. And if anybody in your group has some old material they can scan or already have in digital form, and want to add to the archive, please don't hesitate to pass them my email. Thanks and have a great day.
