Hi Everyone,
Sorry it’s been a little while since I have written!
Surprisingly July has been quite busy, even though school is out for Winter break!
The week of the 5th of July, I traveled to my friend Becky’s site in Mohale’s Hoek. She is actually quite far south and I was excited to see the mountains up close.
To get to her house I had to stay in Maseru at the PC training centre and then take an early morning taxi to the mini-buses that go to Qacha’s Nek. The mini-bus or sprinter leaves around 5:30am, so I had to get up at 4:15 and take a taxi at 4:45 to make sure that I was able to get a seat. Otherwise, I could have been standing for about 5 hours.
This specific morning, only one sprinter came instead of two, so we were crammed in and there were a lot of people standing! So thankfully I had gotten there early!
Once on the way, the drive went rather quick and before I knew it, I was off at the Ha Mosi stop. Becky’s site is about an hour in from the main road, so I had to wait for a car or trunk to drive me in. Luckily, a trunk came almost as soon as I was off the Sprinter, so I didn’t have to wait long.
Once at her site, I met Becky and another volunteer who was also going to help with the library workshop. Becky is finishing her PC service in just a few weeks, so we were helping her finish her libraries that she received in the 2010 ALP shipment.
We prepared for the workshop and also helped Becky finish organizing all the books. The workshop went quite well and the teachers that she is working with are all very motivated and excited to get books! Overall, I had a great time and I was excited to see southern Lesotho for the first time!!!
