So yesterday I met with two board members. John travels across each year and visits the various projects funded by AAF. We discussed some of the work I will be doing and how to go about it and some of the issues dealing with thew history and culture.
The area am in is steeped in history. Really only learned today the difference between Afikaaners and English speaking South Africans. They fought each other in the Boer War and I gather the Zulus fought against both.
On arrival I will be in Johannesburg for a weekend and will stay in some apartments and have dinner with a friend from the church Ans. She has lined up a local from Sowto to guide mearound Soweto (and keep me safe). I will have Sunday morning at Hillbrow Church and then make my way to Pietermarizburg (PMB) enroute to Bergville.Only 22 more work days till I leave.
I retired from overseas relief and development in April 2022 and then spent six months in Tanzania working in Musoma as a volunteerassisting the Anglican bishop. I am assisting with capacity building across various areas of the diocese. In 2023 I led a tour of 18 Australians who visited and observed the work of the church in the Mara Region - three dioceses - Mara, Tarime and Rorya.
