Hello Everyone! This blog has been created to record the details of my summer in South Africa. I'll be in Cape Town this summer (or winter, depending on where you are) to work on my International Public Service Project (IPSP), which is a part of my grad school program at the Clinton School of Public Service. Fellow classmates Ryan Lewis and Sarah Argue are here with me as well. I am working with the South African Education and Environment Project (SAEP) to do an analysis of their education program for high school learners. There are also some secondary objectives I hope to check off while I'm here.
- Do an informal comparison of Post-Apartheid South Africa and the Post-Jim Crow Mississippi Delta.
- Go to a Rugby Game.
- Enjoy the great taste of braai (what they call BBQ down here, pronounced "brye").
- Get my feet in the Indian Ocean.
- Be able to say "Xhosa" (click sound included) in the middle of a sentence without having to stop and pace myself.
I will keep you posted on my progress towards meeting these objectives.
