After the short entry from monday, here is a longer one. You will find some more pictures with this post as well. One of me with my hostmother and 2 of her grandchildren. The other 2 are of an baboon and a small brown thing of which I don't know the name.
Last week we had some rain here and I fell ill with a flu. So after having met my future boss for the first time last wensday I spent my time in bed till friday afternoon. On saturday my hostdad wanted to go for a ride so my hostmum, -brother and I came along. Fist we drove to the beach, where I made the picture with the stone. We then to the pinguins and then drove around, thats when we saw the baboons and and after a stop at a supermarket we had lunch in the mountains from where I took the pic down on Cape Town.
On monday I then had finallt my first day of work at the St. Georges Home. After sitting in a staff meeting for most of the morning I helped the driver to collect some donations and when we came back I met the first girls who where in school during the morning. After most Girls came from school at around 3pm they had lunch after which it was time for the girls to do their homework. After which the girls where informed about the news decided on the meeting, for example who is grounded from then on and who isn't anymore. Yesterday I was asked to come in around 1pm. After having done some necessary work for the Home, the Girls came home again. lunch again. homework again. But during homework I helped one girls with her maths, she is writing exams soon.
To get to the Home I use the so called taxis, which are minibuses who drive a certain route. In one of these buses you drive with up to 15passengers + driver. In germany you wouldn't be aloud in that kind of bus with more then 8 passengers. It only costs 5rand though.
Bye for now.

First day of work











Yes today was my first real day at St. Georges Home For Girls, which was fine. Unfortunately I have to go home now. But here are some pics I made this weekend (the one of the bed is from the first day).
