Schedule Update Includes Safari!
Time is quickly running out! Just a little over a week from now I will be crisscrossing South Africa. What a schedule too!
Here is what the current schedule looks like:
Sept 19 - Arrive Johannesburg (catch up on sleep)
Sept 20 - Pretoria: afternoon reception and one-hour speech to 50 librarians.
Sept 21 - Johannesburg & Soweto: visti 2 schools in Soweto; program and speak to librarians and administrators in JOhannesburg; drive to Harrismith with Embassy staff (where Raspby lives)
Sept 22 - Qwaqwa: visit three schools which received books; program and speak; fly to Durban
Sept 23 - Durban: program and speak to school librarians and administrators
Sept 24 - Sightsee in Durban; return to Johannesburg
Sept 25 - Drive to Nelspruit with Embassy staff
Sept 26-30 - LIASA Conference; Monday & Wednesday Friday morning plenary speech; overnight in Nelspruit (maybe a little sightseeing?)
Oct 1-2 - Kruger National Park Safari (evening drive on Saturday, morning drive on Sunday); shuttle bus to Johannesburg airport
Oct 2 - Depart for USA
Now, if I can only get my speeches written and my suitcase packed! (Got one shot and anti-malaria pills last week, so the health stuff is taken care of!)
These next ten days will be very busy with work stuff and home stuff - all apart from getting ready for The Trip. (Like a quick trip to Philly for my grandson's christening, answering telephones for the Billy Graham telethon, giving orientation presentations in about fifteen classes, etc.) Should keep me from getting bored!
Gotta go for now. I hope you will check back in about two weeks to see where I have been in SA!

Jane, we loved having you in South Africa and thankyou so much for the Illinois document you so kindly gave me. The situation is disparate here but thankfully we have the political will to get it right and local and overseas help and support.
Best wishes
