Can't believe I've been here for one month now! Time has flown! It feels like I've been here forever and also that I've just arrived.
I'm getting much more settled into my projects now and having a set schedule is definitely easier. Three of the girls have now left, leaving five of us which I prefer as it was very hard to get to know so many people.
Just a few stories and things that I've done since the last time that I thought I'd share. We did an assembly in Plettenberg Bay. It was so early - school here starts around 8 so we had to leave Knysna at 7! Although we were just a little late... First we did a drama about giving back to others, sang some songs (many are new to me and very catchy!) and Jerome told a story about Easter.

On Tuedsay mornings I go to Knysna Christian School to help with reading, mainly just with one boy, Siseko. His reading is very poor although I have already seen improvement in the short time I've been there. I think this is because he is getting more comfortable with me and also I take time to make sure he says it right which does annoy him! The funny thing is when he says something in my accent!
I spent the Easter weekend in Cape Town with a girl who is volunteering with George YFC and it turns out that she lives in Newtownards as well! We went to Table Mountain, Hout Bay, Camps Bay and Signal Hill. It was great fun and we also went to Hillsong church twice on Sunday - definately an amazing experience!

I got some very nice Easter parcels in the post this week - lots of choclate & sweets from home! I have to admit my favourite thing were Tayto Cheese &Onion crisps - I have missed them!!
This week is school holidays so only one projects is on but I am looking forward to catching up on some sleep!
Much love from Knysna xxx
