Update

Katy is now in her second year at Meyerspark Primary, (7 years old). They used to be an Afrikaans only school but have an English stream now. She's the only white girl in class. A bit like Benjamin's situation at la Montagne. She is doing guitar and is very "girly" On Saturday she's off to the Circus with her best friend Jaida. Jaida is very big and fat but has the sweetest personality. Cleverer than Hazel Fruin...Katy is a very organized and orderly person. Everything has to be "just right"...she will procrastinate until everything is in order...you know how that is?Benjamin is now 13 and at Boys High. He is beginning his puberty...smelly feet etc...Benjamin goes to scouts, plays a bit of cricket and has just joined the chess club. Benjamin plays the trumpet and is learning piano. He is helping me with computers and maintains my websites and blogs. He also builds computers from old parts and we give them to various community projects in the townships. His big thing this year has been to negotiate our notoriously fickel bus system...its good for his briccolaging skillsAndy now has a very good small business, Enchanted Woods. She teaches at a church on Saturdays and Fidays, does some private teaching at home and teaches at Pretoria Girls High too. She also plays oboe at Queenswood church now and for a local amateur orchetsra in town as well as some gigs with the all-girl band and the por-musica orchestra.
We are struggling financially...but that has always been the case. I have been working on three projects [1] with Veronica Khosa setting-up a college in Waltloo called AFRENAUS teaching nursing, social work and business skills; [2] with a Paula Martini setting up a school nutrition project called Eat Smart B Smart. and [3} with Viv Zwennis-Schultz setting-up an entrepreneurial theme park.Last year I worked on becoming an Assessor under the new outcomes based education system and as you probably know I finished my Masters degree in applied ethics at St. Augustine College, the Catholic University here. I have been going for job interviews and been told that I'm "overqualified"...what does that mean exactly?
