Hi! I’m Leslie.
I taught for six months in Namibia. Instead of writing letters, I wrote all of this.

Since you’re here, you should click over to my travel companion’s holiday journal (it’s funny, I promise):
Part 1: Ride up north and things I learned on safari.
Part 2: Sossusvlei
Part 3: Modern bushwomen create a nationalistic cult in an attempt to change their misfortune
Part 4
Greetings!
I'm Leslie and I'm a volunteer teacher at Ponhofi Secondary School in northern Namibia!
I was supposed to stay for a summer, but the vast African skies, never-ending sunshine, and these awesome kids made me never want to leave. So just to torture myself in December, I extended. Oshi li nawa (it is very good) here in northern Namibia and hope I can be a positive influence and bring a smile and some awareness whenever possible. Follow me!
A huge thank you to those of you who contributed to me doing this! Financially, emotionally, and just listening to me talk about it constantly - you are all loved and appreciated. :)
Since I can only answer "Asks" publicly, if you have questions or comments that don't need to be posted here, feel free to email me at lesliepaigee at the Google email service.
