From December 2008 until December 2009, I am in Namibia as a volunteer. Donations of books, sports equipment, clothing, movies, and virtually anything at all for the school and its students are currently being enthusiastically accepted at the following address: Carmen Lagala, Mureti High School Box 5, Opuwo, Namibia.
The contents of this site express my own views and do not reflect the position of the Namibian government, U.S. government, or WorldTeach.

Proof that I'm not writing this blog from a closet in Montpelier

1.) Will, me, Moses, and Jocie during Orientation
2.) My principal is the one in the crazy print shirt, and the woman to his left is the US Ambassador to Namibia. Sussy, the secretary of Mureti and the owner of the house I am staying in, is to my immediate left.











3.) Mureti learners changing classes














4.) An athletics meet at the Opuwo track. My house is on the hill in the background somewhere.
5.) The green picture is at Ruacana Falls, where we descended and climbed over 500 stairs to view the water fall.
6.) Me at Ruacana
7.) My favorite animal, the elephant, at Etosha National Park.
8.) A storm in the distance, with a view of Ruacana Falls from the top.
9.) A rainbow over the house where I am staying, with Will and Ayoola in front. The school is to the right in the background.
10.) Tjiuee, me, Will, and 11th graders Tjimmy and Scala in my room.
11.) The final picture is one of the glorious sunsets. I took that picture from the front steps of Sussy's house, and the view greets me every morning.
