Arthur headed to Swaziland

Arthur is back in Johannesburg now, and Courtney is back in New York!

I (Arthur) am headed to swaziland tomorrow. Should be arriving in the afternoon, and staying with a guy named Myxos, who runs a backpacker's hostel as well as a preschool and other community projects in a village outside of Manzini. Courtney stayed there when she was on her Dartmouth Africa program, and so I emailed him and he said that he's happy to have me stay and volunteer for a few weeks.

here's his website: http://www.swaziinfo.com/myxo/
and here's the website for the preschool that I might be helping out at: http://www.matjanapreschool.org-a.googlepages.com/home

To be honest, I'm really not sure what I'll be doing there, but I talked with Myxos today and he was excited and glad that I was coming. So i'm just hoping that at the least it will be a good cultural experience. My guess is helping with the preschool and also helping him start a handicrafts business.

I don't really know where I'm staying, but I believe I'm staying in the village, which is 55kms outside of Manzini (the biggest town).

At this point, that's all I know, except that my ticket home is on June 8th out of Johannesburg, so I won't be there long.
