Now that 2008 is upon us my trip to South Africa draws near. I will be leaving PDX to assist an organization called "Memory Books from Home" as they visit orphanages, schools, hospitals in and around Durban, South Africa.
The trip will be from Jan 31 through Feb 14th. Durban will be our home base as we travel north to the Richards Bay area and also spend time NW of Durbin (Richmond, Cato Ridge, and Mempelo.)
I can not begin to express my excitement and feelings as this trip unfolds. I will post more details and thoughts over the next few weeks. I believe we have Internet access at the house we are staying and if possible I will post updates to the mit blog.
More later, see map below for locations.
