Mom, Bonnie and George pay a visit to South Africa

17 June 2007, I waited with baited breath to see my mom and God parents emerge from a boeing 747. It had been almost two years; I was beside myself with excitement to see them again, show them my South Africa, and introduce them to my family and village. Their trip was a lot of fun, and the village absolutely loved them and was honoured to be hosting my elders! The only kink was that the schools were on strike and we weren't able to visit. My teachers were terribly disappointed to have missed them. It took a lot of time and energy just to process family and friend introductions. We even had tea with a collection of kokos (old women). Mom, Bonnie and George even hung out with the Girls' club, playing games and doing crafts. The visit was equally unforgettable for both my American and African families!
