So I've moved this blog, as you can notice. Why, you may ask? Well, for one, people kept asking me, "what's your blog address again? how do you spell that?" and so I had to keep repeating that pretty often.
But the major reason I moved my blog address is because of the name. My old address was Ndzivalelo.blogspot.com , since I was Ndzivalelo Maluleke in my old village. But, now, I'm not living in that village anymore.
In Tshamahansi, my new name is Tiyani Baloyi. The name Tiyani roughly translates to "get strong" or "be strong".
So, anyway, let me give you all a quick update: the 2nd school quarter for 2006 just ended on Friday. Now the schools are on a 3-week winter break. Yes, it is WINTER here right now. and yes, it is cold. At night it's been getting down to near-freezing, around 2 or 3 degrees Celcius, and in the daytime it's been in the low 20s C. It was a good term; I would love to tell you all about the work I've been doing, and I will write that update soon. For now, I'm just enjoying the school holiday; I am in Pretoria, waiting for my mom and sister to fly in from New York (they will be here Thursday night!).
I'll write again soon.....and I'll have a lot to write about. Until then....take care.
