Honestly haven't written because there has been no internet so forgive me AND because I haven't really had my computer around because Cristian has had it to be laying out the brochure. Lil frustrating as I haven't heard from Iain, (brochure person), Geraldine (GWC, and their support, and document etc.), Jeff (website man), so we've been trying to do the powerpoint, which looks awesome, and the brochure with only Cristian and Kenny's help. I've been running around here and there, and trying to link things, people, get out here and there, and man oh man back to the normal frustrations of Africa. I had 3 meetings set up Friday and not only did I feel sick (which I still do, but it's not coming outta my mouth) so I guess it was meant to be. But I stayed home and all 3, except saw Musa for a small moment on base, I didn't meet. AND still haven't sorted out my visa. So frustrating. Got up at 6am to catch train with Collins to turn in visa application, and on this smelly crowded, but fun train ride for an hour, I finally get to the line out the door, and I'm like, Collins, this doesn't cost anything to turn in the app right? Our registrar didn't give me anything, he's like YEAH! R450! I brought like R200 and Collins had none plus the form i'm supposedly suppose to have, was never given to me, so now I'm here in the office trying to track her down to have all this. I feel terribly because these are things I could have I think accomplished awhile ago. Yikes. Despite all these struggles, I'm still doing much more, even out to Fishoek football club last Friday night, met great people, actually have a match Friday, if I fax in all the right paperwork. Nothing big, apperntly some of the wives of the mens teams who haven't even played before.
I must get going but seriously will write more when I can. Just running around with so much to do. Gotta contact this Protea hotels, get brochure done, get soccer meetings accomplished, help Arts With A Mission and their programs, even Ambassadors In Sports are wanting me to help with their local outreaches here for the World Cup and possibly see ABSTAIN's content to give out? Elrico oh yeah, was here with his cute lil girls to tell me more of future plans on girls and football (which reminds me I'm going to see this academy that even has a girls specific side on Thursday) and he also spoke of his NGO Cirus to sponsor some of the pins and brochure. BUT I NEED IT DONE. Yeah things are moving, but in African hectic pace.
Love you all, any remedies to settle my stomach? No knee pain either, AMEN!
