My last night in Jo'burg

I had a great week in Johannesburg having briefings from the OCHA regional office where my colleagues all gave me a very warm welcome. I stayed at a lovely family run guest house called Sunninghill Guest Lodge which was round the corner from the office. On my last evening two of my colleagues took me out for dinner in Nelson Mandela Square.

Here we are standing in front of a larger than life-size statue of Madiba!

Welcome to Tall Tales from Windy Corner

Hello readers!

I am on my way to Namibia where I will be working with a United Nations agency for six months. I will be based in Windhoek (translated = Windy Corner) and I aim to jot down my thoughts and experiences here in this blog during my stay there.

At the moment I am in Johannesburg for briefings and I am enjoying the S African sunshine and fresh winter air. All being well I will fly to Windhoek on Saturday, after which the Tall Tales shall begin.

Are you sitting comfortably?

Love and shalom,

Sarah xxx
