Tuesday 23 March 2010


Hey all!

Hope everyone had a relaxing long weekend! My time on the farm was great, today still felt like a monday though! Even an extended weekend still feels too short, one of my friends thinks that every weekend should include a Monday, i don't disagree! We headed out to Witbank to the '4 LIFE' water plant, i managed to get the information on the people working there and watched them at work, it really is an interesting process,bottling water! This past weekend at the farm, although relaxing, was exhausting! We had a great time though, offroad biking and grooming horses and such, one thing that can be said is that although the 'farmhands' don't earn as much as peope living closer to the cities, they are probably living better on account of being able to live off the land! the vegetables growing up there are amazing!! i made sure i got my share of chillies,jalapenos, tomatoes and butternut! Being able to sustain yourself and your family is a huge responsibility that all people live with, the entrepreneurs we have dealt with sometimes only earn R500 per month, yet they survive! it definately is a skill, being a survivalist!

From tomorrow i'll be working with Hanolet, She has been really busy recently, so ill get to catch up on whats happening with the mentorship intakes and any new interviews coming up!
