Salakahle means "stay well" in SiSwati. That's what you say as you are leaving a place and that's what I'm saying to all of you and America! (Oh and the "k" is pronounced as a "g" so that changes the whole word). Anyway, I'm leaving tomorrow morning! I will fly into Johannesburg and then we will drive to Swaziland this week. It's been so nice to be home but I'm also excited about getting back to Swazi. We will live in Manzini, in the house we stayed in the first time we went to Swaziland. If you click on the "browse my photos" link to the left, I've added pictures from last semester and there's a picture of the house where my team will stay. The Kenya team is coming to Swazi due to the riots and unrest in Kenya so it will be nice to have them close by! This is a map of the tiny country that I will call home for the next several months.
This is my address in Swaziland:

Packages take FOREVER so they are not advised but letters are strongly encouraged:)
The support I have received so far has been unbelievable! I cannot say thank you enough for all of your financial contributions, kind words, and prayers. I could not do this without you. The next time I update I will be 7 hours ahead and probably still jet lagged. It's worth it because I love it:) I hope all of you are doing well and I'm excited to continue to share this experience with all of you!
