NAMIBIA!!!

So we arrived in Namibia on Wednesday. The flight was only 2 hours, and again South African Air had amazing Kosher food, but they accidentally brought out too many so I had people from the group bringing me kosher meat! haha it was ridiculously good! Then on the way from the airport we saw baboons, it was very exciting!!! The house is pretty big, there are two girls rooms with 6 girls each, one with 5 girls, and mine with 2, and there are two boys rooms with 3 guys each. So I lucked out, and only have one roommate who I love and think is amazing! The room itself is an ok size, an L shape so we have separate spaces. The only downside is that it is attached to the house but not in the house, basically like a shed or closet that has a door to the outside but no door into the house. So I need to go outside to get into the house or to go to the bathroom, which is annoying but worth it for the extra space and privacy. We did a bit of sightseeing around windhoek and the township Katatura and the informal settlements. We had local kids our age take us around and it was really fun! We went to a local orphanage that receives no funding from the government and it is literally just a husband and wife taking care of orphaned children. I hope that throughout the semester I'll be able to go over and help out with things like writing grants, painting and hanging out with the kids!
