A month in photos: March 2013
- Camping at St. Lucia, one of South Africa’s vacation destinations with three of my PCV friends Katrina, Michael and Shawn. We got to see hippos, kayak in the estuary and stroll along a gorgeous beach! A much needed weekend to celebrate the end of our first term of teaching. Did you know hippos are the most dangerous animal in Africa?
- Our second Girls on the Rise club – this time we focused on self-esteem. All the girls had to trace their hands, cut out their hand and paste their hands on their backs. Then, the girls went around and wrote positive things about each other on the hands, as if everyone was getting a “pat on the back”.
- Other random pictures: I have completed labeling all my school’s library books by reading level and subject, so now onto my favourite part in my library secondary project: DECORATING! And, as always, some pictures coming from the Battlefields PCVs and my site.

- What happens if a hippo runs at you? The only way to escape is to climb a tree
-
- Stuck sitting on the ground in between two seats on the taxi because I was the only person that could fit. And yes, we got pulled over.
