Where I work

Some photos from Ramotshinyadi HIV/AIDS Youth Guide [RHAYG]:




View from the road leading down to the org. The new facility, which is almost complete, is just to the left. I'll put pictures of that up soon.


A hastily and shoddily made panorama.


The youths working on the organic garden planted orange trees around the org.


Where the cooks prepare food for staff and the drop-in center kids. Also a great place to dodge work.


The organic garden, which will be expanded several-fold once we the funding comes through.


Carers at the center to do their monthly reports.


Thabia and other staff.


Mangena giving out instructions before our village-wide domestic and child abuse survey for the Dept. of Social Development.


Phindile (OVC Coordinator) and Mangena (OVC Manager) in 'my office', which became the computer lab shortly after.


My desk. And yes, it is still covered in bubble wrap.

Odds and Ends

I couldn’t think of anything to write, so here’s some whatnot I found:

A video from Mangena's car from the early days at site. Just to give an idea of the landscape.


No picture with this one. Just the sound of a downpour in my room with a tin roof. I'd recommend installing a Marshall Half-Stack turning the volume to 11 for a proper idea of how loud it is.


Will, a PCV in my group, arm wrestling Nkosi, his Xhosa teacher, during our going away braai (BBQ) the day before we left for site.
