Walnut tree down

Final trip

Another Shanty town photo.

Some animals.

Acknowledging KM photos (2)

Bags packed ready for the off.

We meet the South African team in Pretoria and spent a little time with the Finance people.

We were treated so well by the South Africans.

OM Training centre

It was good to see the bricklayers starting the work on some new buildings at the training centre. The centre has in recent years found the demand for their training services increase. This has also meant that there has been an increase in requests form young people taking a "gap year" Training period. In some cases this may lead to full time working with OM.

Aids - hope School

The prayer garden.

Peaceful garden

Peaceful garden

Peace in Shanty town

The ex orphanage now learning centre for Aidshope, Pretoria. Wonderful peace in this corner.

Aids-hope

The Aids hope South Africa centre in the middle of the Shanty town. A place to teach and educate young people how to deal with Aids.

A real peaceful place.

Conference venue

Evening meals under the stars and African huts. "Braai" was great. OM South Africa did us proud and their Braai was spectacular.

OM South Africa's Aidshope programme is about to get a kick start.

See photos soon.

Meeting

Lutendo Malaudzi is currently on 5 months training at the school, and hopes to go to Cape Town to study Medicine and be a Doctor in due course.

Housing improvements

As soon as land is distributed and bought properly, long term housing can be developed in the Shanty towns. This is a picture of recent building. There tends to be delays in land purchases which results in a squatter existence and seen as temporary. Squatter towns tend to be anywhere but have no utilities.

Pretoria pictures

Accommodation

More pictures of the accommodation





Lots of interesting corners in the garden. When the rain came we had waterfalls. Outside our rooms.

The South Africans like their meat and this place was no exception. The food at this place called a bed above was great.

It was a quiet corner of Pretoria except the birds giving us early morning wake up calls at 5.00 AM

Kitchens outside not practical in Scotland.
Some one asked if we had (Brie) bar b Q 's in Scotland. I said no cos we are afraid of melting the snow!

Accommodation

Wonderful room with all the facilities you would expect my room door under the lamp here.
We were all impressed with the service provided by the owner and her staff.

Pretoria is a large city, seat of government, and of diverse wealth.

The conference room is at the top of the stairs. Only a breathless walk of 50 yards.

Great getting a lift at 5.45am



Notice the purple trees at the street side



The jacaranda trees were spectacular.


The view in Pretoria was great.

Travel to South Africa

Paris airport not the most relational of airports, and rather large. I like how the bus drivers on site taking passengers to and fro from terminals and planes try and see how many heads they can have knocked against the windows of the bus any side!

I notice the pound does not buy as much as it used to and this is after deducting duty free.

Internet explorer 8 beta

Hi all you readers. If you are one of those people who likes to be at the forefront of technology here is a warning.

Internet explorer 8 - beta does not currently work with McAfee security.

It causes the browser to freeze with a mcAfee balloon which is empty and when you go to McAfee it will not report fully.
The answer is to remove Internet explorer 8 beta until such time as it has been fixed.
Its a good time to remind you to take restore points before you tinger around.

Explorer 7 will still be there but you may need to make a new icon.
