The programme students and staff just had a big long talk about strengths and weaknessness of the last three weeks, and it was pretty nice. I wish I didn't have a cold or that the whole group wasn't alternately sick and/or being treated for post traumatic stress disorder, but we're chuggin' along. We're leaving for Durban tomarrow morning, which will certainly change, if not improve, our situation. All we needed as a group was to have a bit more sharing and to hear that our profs were also negotiating things and struggling with the programme fuck ups.
Mucho love.

I was so happy to hear about the water pick incident that I shared it with my friends scattered around the UCT computer lab. These things keep me going.
I'm a bit tired, having spent the morning in class listening to lectures and the afternoon at a residential home for disabled and abandoned children, who didn't have toys, medication or diapers, let alone adequate diets. It was frustrating to do as much as we could, knowing that toys would dissapear, the underpaid nurses would take donated funds, and nothing we could do would be sustainable. So we got a new carpet and put in new ceiling tiles, and held these increadibly neglected children for four hours. Hmm. I don't know what else to say, for I haven't processed it myself yet.
Missing all of you.
