PCV Murdered in Benin

Up Next, Vic Falls then Malawi then Mozambique then RSA. Wow.
So I kinda broke the sidebar (it’s just at the bottom) but hopefully I can fix that tonight. To the right you can see buttons to add feeds. If you arent using RSS feeds you really should be because they let you keep up with lots of different blogs and websites and let you knw [...]
Shadowing
Yesterday the people that will be shadowing me for the next week arrived and we had a nice little braai last night. It has certainly been nice to meet a bunch of the new group over the past week or so and I am looking forward to getting to know them over the next year [...]
