Time is Ticking


  • With just barely a month left before I depart to South Africa so many things are on my mind! Funding this trip has been truly a harrowing experience. I've been overwhelmed by the immense generosity of my friends and family and have also found that one really has to seek out alternative ways of thinking about funding. The festival of funding is not nearly over though I trust, hope and pray that I will have everything I need by the time I depart.

    Very special heartfelt THANK YOU to those who have contributed in a myriad of ways to the realization of this journey:

The political complexities of post-apartheid South Africa have erupted in Johannesburg (luckily my program takes place in Cape Town) bringing the actuality of the South African struggle into ever clearer light.

I'm excited, I'm apprehensive, I'm dedicated to this journey. I can't wait to leave. Gotta go look for more funding! KISSES!
