So its tuesday today. I have one more day here in Joburg and them am off to Swaziland again for two days before flying back to Vancouver. Nothing too exciting has happened recently. We’re writing up our report for the Aids ministry today and will submit it tomorrow.
I interviewed a guy yesterday who has worked for several aid organisations in afrtica and the picture that he and other people have painted for me in regards to African aid is depressing. Very depressing. Its interesting being here as a foreigner wanting to help, yet seeing africans who themselves have no interest in contributing to the solution. Its a much more complex and conveluted problem than i could have ever have anticipated.
I also had my camera(picture not video) stolen off me the day before last which has been demoralising, but everything happens for a reason. eughh.
we’re going to see a musical tonight which i think is called Imojo or something like that. It should be great. Its about life in SA during apartheid.
