Getting ready to head to Limpopo!

Countdown!  I leave on Sunday to head out on my Corporate Service Corps assignment!  I'll be working with an awesome team - Anna and Daniel - and I'm so looking forward to meeting them!

We'll be working with a client team from the Ministry of Education to support teacher professional development as they begin to use KidSmart in the preschools.  KidSmart is a really neat and fun program delivered on a unit that looks like a TV with space for 2 - 3 children to work together.  There are reading and numbers games - and it's really engaging.  I've just downloaded the materials and will be reviewing them before I go!

And then there's the packing - I've been gathering  'stuff' for a month - art supplies to use with the children when we visit an orphanage, IBM logo gifts for the clients, and a 'sample of Virginia' for my CSC teammates!


And yes then there were all those shots.  Not sure why the nurse insisted in putting some in each arm - so for a few days it was challenging to lift my arms!  I started the malaria pills last week - and despite all the dire 'precautions' I had no weird side effects. (Smile)
