Breathe It In...: Happy Merry New Christmas Year…
http://valeriegrivas.blogspot.com/2011/01/happy-merry-new-christmas-year.html
Umphumulo, South Africa. Tuesday, January 11, 2011. Happy Merry New Christmas Year…. So it has definitely been a little while since my last post, but I can assure you it has been a bit of a journey for me too! So Christmas day… it turned out to be a very bright South African experience! Upon arrival, we started right away with helping Thandekile in the kitchen as she was the only one cooking for about 25 people and at the same time watching and trying to entertain about ten children! Now for the New Year!

Andrew in South Africa. I served as a volunteer for a year in Bloemfontein, South Africa, through the Young Adults in Global Mission program through the ELCA. My term of service was August 2010-August 2011. This is where I detailed some of my experiences. Wednesday, July 6, 2011. I Am An African. The following poem was shared with us at YAGM orientation in August, 2010. But it wasn't until recently that I fully grasped its meaning and found myself deeply connected to it. I Am An African. I am an African.

Umphumulo, South Africa. Friday, June 3, 2011. On the Road to Umphumulo…. Throughout my time here in Umphumulo (and everywhere/whenever I had the privilege to visit the other volunteers in Soweto, Bonaero Park, Kenosis, Kimberly, and Bloemfontein… so far! I have most definitely learned when it comes to food there will always be fellowship, culture, and faith experienced at some point in time; sometimes all three will be experienced within the same meal too!
