Sawubona! Hello!: Bushfire: Bring Your Fire
http://bethanyleechpc.blogspot.com/2013/06/bushfire-bring-your-fire.html
Peace Corps adventures from Swaziland. Tuesday, June 11, 2013. Bushfire: Bring Your Fire. 8211; June 2. The fire was for sure brought this weekend at Bushfire! Bushfire Music Festival is one of the greatest things about serving in Swaziland. For those who don’t remember by blog from last year, it is a three-day call to action. I decided to camp on the festival grounds this year with the majority of the other PCVs from Swaziland and a group of PCVs from Mozambique. It was so much fun. There was also a rea...

Sawubona! Hello!: January 2013

Peace Corps adventures from Swaziland. Monday, January 7, 2013. Kisimusi kuMalindza (Christmas in Malindza). After being wishy washy about where to spend Christmas this year I decided to just stay at my homestead. I was told to not really expect a big celebration so I emotionally prepared myself to just skip Christmas this year. However, like most things in Swaziland, I was surprised by how things actually played out. I ended up having a really good Christmas. Since it was so hot, we spent most of the ti...

Sawubona! Hello!: Mighty Fine Group 9 Ring Out
http://bethanyleechpc.blogspot.com/2013/07/mighty-fine-group-9-ring-out.html
Peace Corps adventures from Swaziland. Tuesday, July 16, 2013. Mighty Fine Group 9 Ring Out. For the first time in PC Swaziland history we did a group ring out for closing our service. Group nine has had it fare share of ups and downs and through the waves we lost 16 members who decided to end their service early. That left only 23 of us and all but 6 are all closing our service in a two week time span. So we decided to all ring out together. It was a nice way to feel the end of our service as a group.

Sawubona! Hello!: Ngwempisi Gorge
http://bethanyleechpc.blogspot.com/2013/07/ngwempisi-gorge.html
Peace Corps adventures from Swaziland. Tuesday, July 16, 2013. I had what is probably my last stay-cation here in the Kingdom and it was beautiful. I went with eight other PCVs to Ngwempisi Gorge, which is in the middle of nowhere and it’s stunningly gorgeous (get it hahaha). We stayed at a community run lodge called Khopho Hut that is literally a rock tree fort. It is built into the rock cliff face and overlooks the gorge. Night one we braaied (BBQ) and spent time chasing rats out of the kitchen. Not so...

The contents ...

Sawubona! Hello!: The Magic of Green Bar
http://bethanyleechpc.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-magic-of-green-bar.html
Peace Corps adventures from Swaziland. Tuesday, July 16, 2013. The Magic of Green Bar. Green Bar is the all purpose soap here in Swaziland. It literally is a green bar of soap (about 18 in long) made of who knows what, but it works magic. I use it most regularly to wash my clothes and it gets any stain out. I also use it to make my steel pots and pan shine like new and most people also use it for general washing of hands and bodies. Literally it can be used for anything. I was like what? It’s now b...

Peace Corps adventures from Swaziland. Friday, May 17, 2013. GLOWing brightly at Camp GLOW. 8211; May 4. GLOW camp finally came and went with huge success! The week started when, Nosipho (my counterpart and sisi) and I drug our bags and bedding to the bus stop where we met with the two girls we had selected to attend the camp. Once in Siteki we met up with many other PCVs, counselors and campers at the bus rank. We had a weekend filled with knowledge, fun, empowerment, and food. Day three was art day.

Emma's Adventures in Swaziland. In another moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was going to get out again. The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down a very deep well. - Alice in Wonderland. Ideas for packages to send to Swaziland! Thursday, June 28, 2012. Next week is the 4. But, after the fourth there isn&...
