Safe and sound in South Africa!!

Arrived in Jo'burg today!! Soooooooooo exciting and sooo different. Its very brown and there is barbed wire and broken glass lining every wall, but then in contrast, everyone i have come in contact with have just been so unbelievably helpful, humble and beautiful. We are staying at Wits University in Jo'burg. Met some awesome local people and students and they have given us so much valuable information. We have one more day here and then i head out to my rural school in Limpopo. Really looking forward to it. Its so hard to describe the vibe and feeling here. Its just amazing.
Sending lots of love back home. I have been assured by all south africans that my community and province i am going is one of the safest in South Africa. It is the whole communities job to care for us and respect our property so that is really great!!

Dear Carly
So glad to hear you had a good trip over. Enjoy all your experiences, and keep safe.
I am going to forward your blog on to friends of mine. I hope that is okay.
They were at Elizabeth's wedding - Jane & Vernon Wolhuter and also Sister Anne Hughes. They will be most interested I am sure in your travels.
Take care,
