Same Me

Arrived at 'Hands at Work' today. Orientation starts tomorrow. I have my own room in a line of 12 rooms which are temporary housing for volunteers or trainings. In the middle of the 12 rooms is a large room called 'The village' which has a large kitchen where I have space in one of four fridges and two shelves in a small cupboard for my food. The rest of the room is a large meeting area with tables and chairs.

Beautiful view from my room. New names, new weather, new living arrangements, new language spoken around me, new organization, new part of South Africa.

Same car, same phone number, same belongings, same books, same me.
