Hello!
In our final days in Windhoek we did a number
of things to make sure we got to see our friends and have a good time before we
left. We attended a braai on Tuesday,
and then we hosted our own braai on Independence Day to celebrate and to have
closure as our last day at the house. We
also decided to have a pretend wedding, and I bought and wore a traditional
Oshiwambo skirt, called an Ondelela.
Just purchasing the skirts with two of my roommates was a great
experience, we had lots of fun in the shop trying them on and wearing them
home. We decorated the skirt up with
wearing some beads I borrowed from a friend like a belt. I had some help attaching the head piece as
well.
It was a blessing to have everyone together,
including the women from my internship to friends we had made over the course
of the semester. We were able to
celebrate what we had learned and what we had in common. We did sing the national anthem as well.
In the last few days I got the chance to say
goodbye to people from my internship, my host family, and others I had met.
Thanks, Angela
