Jewels of Hope and a snippet of Swaziland

Since I arrived in Johannesburg I’ve been volunteering at a non-profit organisation called “Jewels of Hope.” It’s an organisation that provides orphan kids with a tiny job. They can work with their hands and do something they enjoy; making ...

Last weeks of Cape Town

From the moment my family left, I was on my own again. Meaning that the holiday feeling was over and the gapyear feeling continued. It was weird to sleep alone in a room where, a few nights ago, both my sisters and I slept in (laughed in, danced in, ...

Home Affairs and Family Time

One of the earlier days with my family, my papa and I decided to go to Home Affairs to be done with my visa renewal. I got prepared, looked up information on the internet of the papers and forms I needed to bring and fill in. We got advised to go ...

Reunited in Cape Town

After coming back from Ponta, I stayed a few days at Waterford to help out some more and pack my bag to definitely leave off to South Africa. (Saying goodbye to my Swazi mama Pernille was painful...) But I still had my visa troubles... Lots of ...

Ponta d'Ouro

Sunday morning I made myself comfortable in a 7-seater on my way to Mozambique. I traveled with 5 other girls; Yula, Tumi, Gcinizwi, Bakhita and Noma. The drive was long and half the time we were all sleeping, which was actually a very cute sight :) ...

Bye Bye Waterford

I can’t believe the last week of my volunteering here at Waterford Kamhlaba has ended... It is so unreal how fast the time flew by. On the one hand I’m leaving in a happy spirit because I honestly have attained so many new experiences that I ...

Swazi Storms

As I've said in one of my earlier blogs, the weather in Swaziland is really silly and always unexpected. About a week ago on a Saturday, I woke up to this very sunny and hot day. The sun was shining and I felt so happy for the sun to finally come ...

Mid-term break

Mid-term is over now, which means I’m at half my stay at Waterford. I have little over a month left here, it makes me sad to think about leaving this place. (So I won’t think about it anymore and carpe diem haha!) When Mid-term was ...

Happy Days

I’ve been away from my home in Holland longer than every before now. But it’s okay, because I have attained multiple homes here in Southern Africa :) I just feel so so happy to be here and that’s why I will write about the things that bring me ...

Maputo for the weekend

Friday morning I got acquainted with African Time. The bus was bound to leave at 8:30, so I made sure I was ready with bag and all around quarter past eight. The bus did not leave until 9:30, and actually I found it quite funny, it didn’t really ...

Preparations for Mozambique

A couple of days ago, Mokgari (she’s one of the volunteers) and I were just chatting during breaktime, when suddenly a teacher came up to us with a very serious expression on his face, he said he wanted a word with us. As former student, my first ...

Waterford Kamhlaba

Sawubona! I’ve been here in Soutern Africa for nearly two weeks now and I’m still overwhelmed by all these new impressions every day again and again. First of all I got to spend time with family friends, Sahm and the Ward family. It is very ...

Southern Africa

I'm going to Southern Africa for six months! I will stay at an United World College in Swaziland for the first three months (it also happened to be the place where my parents met eachother!) The second half of my journey is still a surprise for me as I haven't planned everything from day-to-day yet. I just hope to see a lot of the beautiful Africa before I return to Holland...
