This is it!

I can't quite believe that tomorrow I truly start my adventure in Botswana. Flying to Qatar, then to Johannesburg and then onto Maun (finishing off with the 7 hour drive I'm sure I'll get used to). With a good nights sleep being fully in order, as packing last minute isn't the best idea, as well as a busy few days ahead and 30 minutes of free Travelodge wifi quickly counting down this will be a short blog post.

I wanted to say one big thanks to everyone who has helped me make this opportunity a reality and I will try my up most to do the best I can at my project. I am hugely excited for the adventures and challenges that lie ahead, as well as a few nerves and the knowledge I will miss my family and friends (as well as the sea) which all meant I have had the best summer before I leave. As Project Trust say a busy volunteer is a happy volunteer and I don't plan on slacking off at all, so smiles all round.

With slight uncertainty over the internet at my project and the desire to go 'old school' I would love to send and receive letters from anyone who wants to know how I am getting on or would like to tell me news about their year. So please send me any news and/or pictures to this address as not only will they be a great treat while working but also a great momento from my year:

I will keep this updated with my adventures and I hope to receive letters from you too.

Until the next one,
Ke tla go bôna kgantele (see you later).
