Delia Meyer's Update from Lesotho - July 8th, 2008
A Winter Expedition in Lesotho? Am I crazy? My fingers are so cold, they’re numb, and my toes feel like they’re about to fall off… I miss my Mom…
I lie in bed until the last minute, warm some milk in the outside kitchen, put on the pieces of my layered clown costume bit by bit, shivering. On the drive to the clinic we’re going to do a clown visit at, we pass through vast expanses of land, interweaved with deep gorges. Today it is dark cold, yesterday it was dry and browny- green, the other day, the rain looked grey.
Visiting a Refugee Camp for Victims of Xenophobic Violence in Johannesburg, June 28th, 2008
Recently, South Africa has experienced an internal refugee due to the xenophobic violence in May. 1000s of families from all over Africa have been displaced with their homes destroyed and lives traumatized by the violence. While the response of the government was tepid at best, many individuals and organisations have responded to the crisis with exceptional generosity and compassion.
Update from Swaziland - March 16, 2008 - Stories from Our Gogos
We have just completed our first week of a month-long expedition in Swaziland in partnership with CWB Sweden. We are working with the Lutheran Development Service, a community-based relief organization, in a village in the drought stricken southeastern part of the country where over 45% of the population is HIV positive. As there is no other psychosocial support work happening in Swaziland, we have been received with great enthusiasm and excitement by the community and LDS staff.
Project Njabulo, Ingwavuma Residency Update, 19th February 2008
To get to some of the schools on this expedition we've had to travel on paths that are not really roads at all, but rather just tracks through the bush made by cars. If it wasn't for the guides we've had to pick up along the way, we would not have found these schools at all, as the tracks fork repeatedly and are crossed often by other tracks leading from household to household.
