Falling into Place

I feel like things are finally starting to fall into place. Yesterday I received my housing information and host Rotary club (Claremont Rotary Club: www.rotaryclaremont.co.za). Now I'm just playing the waiting game with my Visa-- crossing my fingers that it comes soon!

Recently I was interviewed for an upcoming Moxie article in the Charleston Post and Courier. Yesterday I had my picture taken on the College of Charleston campus. They took a few photos in front of Randolph Hall and then moved to take a few in front of the Education, Health, and Human Performance Building. I'm very excited about the Moxie article because it gave me a chance to highlight what a wonderful organization Rotary is and that I would never have this opportunity without them. I will let you all know when the article is due to come out!

Beginning the Journey- Moving

I'm getting closer to my departure to South Africa- visa application has been submitted, shots have been scheduled, and I just rented my house (shown in picture) and moved from Charleston, SC to Asheville, NC. Even though I'll only be in Cape Town for a year, there is a tremendous amount of paperwork and preparations that have to take place beforehand. I've run up against many obstacles, but I know in the end it will all be worth it. This is just the beginning!
