I think I have tonsillitis again...yayyyyyy! This makes it the 6th or 7th time in about a year I believe but I've kind of lost count! I'm going to wait a few days to see if it is actually tonsillitis and not just a sore throat before going to the doctors what with it being R500 just to see the doctor!
In other news I'm settling in well I think! I'm slowly slowly learning all the names of the volunteers and the kids are now totally used to me being back which is nice. I still haven't worked in any of the houses...I'm stuck in the office which I find mind-numbingly boring!

Internet Woes!
The day after I arrived, the internet people we buy unlimited internet off decided they weren't providing us with internet any-more. This means I'm back to pay per MB internet which sucks! The people we're using now say they're setting up a time-based service, which I think means pay per month, in the next few weeks hopefully! In the mean time, posts will probably be few and far between...sorry!
I haven't started work properly yet, I did 2 nightshifts a few days ago but they don't count! But I start working in the office tomorrow. It could be fun...I think I'm going to be quite busy, there's a fair few things happening in the next week that I have to help organise but after that it should die down. Because I haven't been working in the days, I've been able to go to outside time and just play with the kids which has been really nice, so I've been singing lots of songs!
Hey ho! I can't think of anything else interesting to put down so I shall update again when something interesting occurs!

I'm back!
I arrived safe but tired yesterday evening! I'm on nightshift now...it's getting a bit deja-vu-y right now!
Some things have changed a LOT since I left. The volunteers for one! I hardly know any of them, but I'm working on that :) And back kitchen has been re-arranged which is a bit weird. I'm back in the same room as I was last time but because there are 3 other girls, there are a lot of pictures and things on the walls.
The kids are all the same though! I arrived too late to see them yesterday so I went to the house today and saw some of them, then saw the rest in outside time. One of the older girls saw me first and did a brilliant double take which prompted all the other kids to see, so I got mobbed by 10 to 20 kids which was really nice!
I think some of the other volunteers might have a slight issue with me. I'm trying not to step on anyone's toes but today especially after seeing all the kids I think I might of peeved some of them off a little. But I'm working in the office for the next week or two so hopefully I can hide away until I get used to them and they get used to me and I can slowly emerge!

Damson in Doha
Hello all! I'm currently in Doha awaiting my connection to Cape Town, I'm bored and I have electronics, so here we are! It's nearly midnight british time, I think it's around 2 or 3 am Do a time and I've been up for 17 hours...and counting!
I don't actually have anything interesting to write but I'll try me best to do a post within my first few days back :)
