I think it's necessary for y'all to meet the characters (or FAMILY) in my African Adventure.
Nobesutu is my team teacher, and best ishomi (or friend). She feels like a complete soul sister. She is genuinely one of the most beautiful, gentle people I have ever encountered. She has a great sense of humor, and she reads and speaks both ENGLISH & XHOSA fluently. Huge bonus for me, since I am in love with the language.
Like I said, both beautiful & funny
Although I am not sure who named her, her given name is Nobesutu. Her father calls her Sutu. Nobesutu literally translates to "blessed the child." Lastly, her English name that she gave herself is: Veronica.
She lives about 10 minutes away from school and still would manage to show up late... (I am of course able to laugh at & with her because Lord knows I run on African time too!) A couple of her nieces & nephews came to preschool with us and the other family she had were involved in the community garden or other regular projects.
Next post we will get to meet her family & maybe a tale or two of some crazy adventures with her at the local markets...
