So, first of all, I should mention how uber helpful the current South Africa volunteers (especially those from SA 18, 19 & 20) have been in our stressful preparation for service!!! They are so wonderful! Now to the point: a current PCV who will be assisting in our training from February-March recently visited our soon-to-be training area and took some photos for us! After a brief stay in Siyabuswa at a regional college to settle-in, finish immunizations, etc. we will be moving to our homestay sites in one of two villages outside of Dennilton (both in the Mpumalanga region, Northeast of Pretoria). The remainder of our training will take place at a facility in a local nature preserve, a short van ride from the villages. So before we even depart - thanks to our super-great PCV mentors!!! - here is a mini-tour of where we will be spending the first couple months of our stay in South Africa:
Around Dennilton - rolling hills!
Road out of Dennilton - headed towards the homestay villages.
Arriving in one of the homestay villages - apparently this area is frequented by baboons!!
The outside of one of the training facilities in the nature preserve.
The outside of another training facility - this could be interesting if it rains....!
The inside of the primary training facility - Hey look! There's electricity! YAY!
That's it for now - we'll keep you posted!!!
6 Days and counting....!!!
