First Full Week Living at the house

So this week was the first week where we had classes and were all living in the house together, and boy was it busy. I had to do a power point presentation in my internship class about my organization, a paper in history class about the urban home stay experience, and I have a paper  due tomorrow on my goals for my internship. 

I wrote my history paper on pre colonial, colonial, and post colonial tribal relations, essentially using German divide and rule tactics and South African apartheid policies to explain on going ethnic tensions, and tribal intolerance. There are several tribes in Namibia, the San, Oshivambo, Herero, Damara, Nama, Tswana, and a few others I can't remember. (As a side note we are learning Damara for our rural home stay, which is a super difficult click language!) So I talked a lot about how my encounters with Namibians of different backgrounds showed a gap in the tolerance and understanding  between people from different tribes. 

 Tomorrow I'll be going in an extra day for my internship because they want to have a meeting with me about helping ad creativity to a craft show they are participating in. After that Synagogue for the entire weekend! Can't wait...
