Hi! I'm off to Rehoboth on Saturday and I start teaching in the farm school next week. I will be living with a Namibian host family for the first month or so which will help me with my Afrikaans and understanding of the culture. I will pay rent but be involved in their family life.
After that I will be living with a lady who has been here for a year already with AIM and is renting a house in Rehoboth.
Rehoboth is a closeknit community with many social problems. The children I will be teaching will have a variety of backgrounds. I am not totally sure what the situation will be yet.
Am really looking forward to going and getting stuck in but would really value prayer for my relationships within the family and at the school. I think also that I manage the cultural differences well and sensitively.
Dangkee - Thank you in Afrikaans!!
