It took 3 flights, 3 bus rides, and a total of 30 hours, but I made it! I realized quickly that South Africa is beautiful and the people are very friendly. I found myself dropped off at the Fredlunds house (more like a compound) around dinner time. The main house is amazing, with a wonderful communal space of a large living area, kitchen, dining, and play area. The entire back wall is a window that opens onto a porch overlooking their yard and the beautiful countryside. There are a number of other students\/volunteers\/doctors staying at the Fredlunds who make me feel immediately welcome and invite me to join them with making and eating a lovely group dinner. It kind of feels like a summer camp of sorts. I am completely exhausted after my travels and headed to bed shortly after dinner. I&#8217;m very excited about my first day at the hospital and will report back soon!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Cheers<\/p>\n<p>Laura Prewett<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday I finally arrived at Mseleni Hospital.
