Oshikongo

Yesterday I went to visit Oshikongo..the border town between Namibia and Angola...it was so hectic and crazy that I wanted to run screaming. The chaos was crazy-people, cars, animals, trash, movement, etc. everywhere...and as Namibian we could not shop at the stores..they were only allowing Angolans to purchase things. Anyway, I'm sure it was my "lens" that made it look chaotic-I'm sure it was organized and made sense to others-just not me as an outsider!

Today I am trying to meet with some teachers that will help me connect to families that have children with disabilities. So far, one has cancelled and rescheduled for tomorrow..and the other says to meet here, just gave a me general location in town to meet here and then I asked more specifically where...and she replied (with text message) "just come!" Oh, I love it!

BTW (by the way for you non texters) I'm kinda getting into texting messages...it is nice...
