Arrival

I arrived in Windhoek, Namibia yesterday and have spent the time training - learning about Namibia's culture, the expectations of the Ministry of Education, and what the learner's preconceptions about me and how they will react to having an American volunteer in the midst. I won't be at my actual school until next week -- but the word is that they are anxiously expecting me as they have never had an "outsider" at their school before. Everyone is very welcoming... Windhoek is a beautiful city right in the center of the country. It's cold! Winter is underway here and I froze last night. However, since we are below the equator, the further north one goes the warmer it will be, and my school is in the far north of Namibia. No pictures to post yet. It will be a day or so before I can get back to post photos and more information about my training! Thanks for reading!
