Pim Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 on a hiking trip with my dad and brother in Scotland doing the Rob Roy Way. To all the Scotsmen on the board I’d like to say: what an amazing country you live in. The quietness, nature and space is breathtaking and is exactly what I miss in a densely populated country like the Netherlands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There NEVER was apartheid in Swaziland. The impetus of the creation of this school was anti-apartheid--it was originally built in the Republic of South Africa to enroll white and African students together, and was then banned and moved to Swaziland to be rebuilt in 1962. My family arrived the week that Swaziland gained its independence from the UK and we were the first American family to live there--my father was the first Director of their Peace Corps program.

We had spent two years in Ethiopia prior to that, which was a wonderful experience as well. But the three years at Waterford Kamhlaba were perhaps the most important in my life. I was the only American at the school (my siblings were too young to attend) and there were African, English, Indian and Portuguese students from a number of African countries, and the only drawback was that there were only about 12 girls amid 120 or so male students. I had the best education of my life and the best cultural and social experience of my life--it shaped me in important ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
