Khayelitsha, South Africa (day 38)
Things are obviously very different here in Khayelitsha. Things that we take for granted like sanitation and running water are not a given here. Many of the families living in the shacks still have to treck to the communal tap for water.
This may take some time to get used to

Another things that takes a while to adapt to is having no privacy. The idea of 'personal space' is not something African youngsters seem to understand. This is a good thing, but also a bad thing. It is a good thing because I have never been the recipient of such amazing cuddles. The kids in Africa give amazing kisses and cuddles. However it can be difficult when the children are jumping on me, touching my breasts and bottom and attempting to pull down my pants. The teenagers think nothing of reading your diary, climbing into your bed or coming into the bathroom for a 'chat' while you are showering.
