Welcome from South Africa!


Hi Samir, Fatima, Ricardo, Aliya, Kevan, Charnai and Tyra and all the others

It's been quite exciting to read through all your postings and learn about you! Thanks for sharing info about yourself with us!

Also welcome to this area where we hope you will be able to share experiences with South African students, and hopefully make new friends.

I'm a librarian at the University of Pretoria and just love my job! I am married and have a 13 year old daughter, called Monét.

I was fortunate to visit Illinois (Urbana-Champaign, Chicago) and Michigan (Ann Arbor) last year during November. You have such a lovely country, and everything seems to work so perfectly!

Hope you enjoy blogging with the SA students!

SA greetings
Ina
