Josh (thats what he decided we should call him in November, after 2 months of calling him Joni!) was one of the few people who lived in both of our volunteer houses; first Blouberg, Sept - Dec, then Kylemore, Feb-June! He first served at Vissershok Primary School, helping teach life skills in the 6th grade class. Then in Kylemore he helped teach life skills to the High School classes. He also helped coach volleyball in Kylemore. He was the only guy in the Blouberg house, surrounded by eight women!! This was quite a challenge for him, seriously, he struggled a lot and strived to make male friends whe
never he could! We had several conversations where he expressed his struggle with how "girly" the girls in the house were! Poor guy!! In Kylemore there was one other guy, Arjan, so I think that was easier on him!! Here is a pic of him in the back of the bakkie (truck to you Americans!) and then with some of the kids from Vissershok on an outing to the beach! He will be much missed by all of us!!!
