Today was the first day of orientation! We learned a variety of useful skills, from staying safe to filling out expense reports. It was also great to meet the Partners staff and get to hear some of their stories. Over the next two days, we'll learn more about marketing, advocacy, and living in a new culture. Three days is certainly not enough to prepare us for the enormous changes we will experience in the next month, but we are certainly learning.
I'm also working on learning a little bit of SiSwati, the native language. I'm not very good at languages, but I'm trying learn enough to show respect for their culture. I'm hoping it becomes a little bit easier once I am surrounded by the sounds of the language.
I'm only ten days away from leaving, so please pray that my final preparations go smoothly. I cannot convey how much your prayers mean to me, especially at this point in my life.
Salani kahle (Stay well).
