I made a few comments in the beginning of this blog regarding my motivation but thought I'd do so again.
So, why have I agreed to this venture with Danny aside from the fact that he wants to do it and has much to contribute to any education system?
- adventure
- help people much less fortunate than myself
- experience a culture firsthand which is vastly different from any in which I've lived
- learn how spoiled, pampered and wealthy I really am
- leave my safe and secure environment and expand my view of the world
- live in a place long-term in order to examine/change my own values
- learn that simplicity really is the best way - see that I have way too much 'stuff'
- return home with a much greater appreciation of what I have

Some stuff is pretty cool, though! [wink]
I've saved this to our 'Favourites'. It's 'expat_in_scotland', btw.
Many people say Africa gets in your blood, you can't forget it. I felt like that in South Africa.
If you don't want to have to bother looking up the blog to see if I've posted, just sign up via email (in the sidebar).
I just think it's amazing that you and Danny are doing this--and for some excellent reasons!
