Saturday was an interesting day to say the least; I started the morning (6:30am) by making the fire for breakfast for the aftercare group, then heading to a different part of the site to help with a church group that was there for the day (8am); from Zulu street kids, to Indians rolling up in beamers and all sorts of nice cars... and very evangelical Indians at that...
And THEN at 11am I rolled off to yet another part of the camp site to help out with a 7yr old birthday party that was there from mid-morning to afternoon!! This group were all affluent whites, parents and children, for which I assisted in the use of the rock climbing wall (as a belayer) and the low ropes course; for all my head spins about traversing through three vastly different cultures and demographics within the span of a few hours, the kids were pretty darn cute...
Then (@ ~3pm) I rolled back off to the aftercare group to make the fires for the hot water, the main eating area (for cooking) and main meeting area... bit by bit my fire-making skills are getting back up to where they used to be, though I was coughing all weekend from all the smoke inhalation...
I stayed with the aftercare for the rest of the camp, helped pack up the site and came back on Sunday arvo thoroughly exhausted...

Rahaha! You're getting soft Natey. I remember when it didn't phase you one bit ;)
do you rub two rocks together to make the fire or do you actually have matches? haha. nah, i've actually tried lighting a bonfire on a windy day. it was pretty darn hard.
sounds like you're going places and doing things and not have any time to think or contemplate between your traversing through the cultures.
I read quite a few of your recent entries now... almsot kinda up to date with your work. But.. I've got to go now, and can't read the MOST recent entries.
I'll leave a comment here in case you don't see it elsewhere.
Have you written about how you have access to the internet??? Cos' i don't know how you get to write so much in a third-world(or is it a devoloping) country!
Be back soon,
