I just found out my service site for this next month!
I will be working at a community center in Mpophomeni, a very poor township in Pietermartizburg. The center runs a preschool for little kids in the morning and then an after school care program for kids who are affected by AIDs- either their parents have the disease or they have died from it. So i'll be hanging out with the babies and then helping kids with homework and teaching english and computer skills. We will also be cooking and cleaning and helping where they need us, and making school and home visits with the social workers, so it will be a lot of different things. We already got to meet the staff and they are fabulous so i'm so excited to get going!
That sounds like it is going to be really cool and very intense.
