Finally I have the feeling we are really getting somewhere with the Buchter. We found a new printer in Windhoek - who prints the national newspaper “The Namibian” - and I am very busy changing the whole look of the Buchter.

First of all you can’t imagine your allowed to make so much noise, but I guess here there are now noise regulations. Whenever you want [...]

The trip was lovely: an [...]

I’ve just returned from my trainings week on the Isle of Coll, Scotland. Here I’ve learned everything about my project and about Lüderitz. The newspaper project’s got me quite excited as did the teaching prospectives - although I prefer the newspaper now.
As well as getting a lot of training in the culture, teaching, newspaper making [...]
