ABOUT ME

Originally from South Dakota, US. I spent 2+ years in rural South Africa learning from the community and the land while working with education and HIV/AIDS. I don't drink coffee - and people find this strange. I ride a bicycle in the snow. I smile a lot.

PHILOSOPHY

"Motho ke motho ka batho"
(A person is a person through our connection to others)
--Sotho Proverb--
