Thursday was our big launch day for our 1st zero carbon foot print, 100%self sufficient children's home here in South Africa. We had an awesome day (even though I ended up with really bad sun stroke!). The BBC turned out along with ALOT of other press. We were also over run with the local community, which turned out in force to officially welcome us to their community. The most exciting of all our guests were 2 of President Zuma's daughters!!!! Gugu and Thuthu Zuma came to join us and to endorse Project O. They were beautiful, humble and very excited about the work that Project O is doing here in the 1000 hills.
Here I am with the local witch doctor and Cindy's Gogo. (got to keep the witch doc happy!!)

I want to go to South Africa so badly! It's been on my list for years. I've worked with Indigenous peoples in the U.S. for about five years, but South Africa just looks amazing. It looks like you are doing great work.
Beautiful, really, thank you for sharing. Keri

Vashti, I found you through SITS today and have been thinking about your articles all day. I know this is silly, but I had a few blog awards sent my way (the type you're asked to pass on). I put my own spin on one of the awards, to make it a bit more meaningful, and I can think of no other blogger more worthy of recognition than you. Stop by and check it out if you have a moment: http://rookno17.blogspot.com/2009/10/think-pink.html
Warmest wishes, Jenn
