Isibongo

This is my praise name in Zulu:


Izibongo zikaJessica
UNozimanga owafika exhuga
Owayoqhubeka
Noma kunzima noma kubuhlungu
Owashiya udondolo kwaShembe
Emva kwesimangaliso.

She arrived limping
And yet she continued
She kept trying despite the pain
She left behind her walking stick at Shembe
It is a miracle!


This can be added to at any time but this first praise name will always remain for me....

quick post

I'm back from iMaqongqo (which we called Maclickclick because of the two clicks in it--it's really hard to say) and back from St. Lucia's Bay, where we went for the last two days of the program. Now I'm off to Pietermaritzburg and then to the north coast. If you look on the map where Mozambique and South Africa meet at the Indian Ocean (near Tembe Elephant Reserve), that's where I'll be. So not a lot of posts.

However, if you wanted to see more photos of Shembe or of the Virginity Testing Ceremony, or of St. Lucia's Bay, or of Maclickclick, or Imbali, or any of the other things I've done/been to/etc. you can go to Jessica Horn's flickr website. Jessica Horn is in a lot of the photos, and I'm not in many, but she took a lot more photos.
