Leaving for Kokstad Tomorrow!

Hello all! Just a quick post to let you know that I most likely will not be able to access internet for the next few days as we are going to a very rural area in the Eastern Cape. We will be staying at a bed and breakfast type thing and visiting a few rural schools and having lectures as well.

Not much to say about today! We went on a toxic tour of Durban in which a man from the environmental agency here took us around and showed us some of the terrible waste management and the like that is going on. They have oil refineries built right next to neighborhoods and soccer fields! He said many of the people in this community have cancer and they're trying to work to make it more difficult for these refineries to expand.

In the afternoon, we went to the Victoria Street Market which was a bit too hectic for me! They have a lot of gifts and such but everyone is trying to get you into their shop to buy stuff. I bought a few things but it was so overwhelming.

Anyway, that's all for now. Hope everyone is doing well!
