| OTHER EXPERIENCES I have lived in several large-scale communes in Denmark, and have thus had a great deal of experience navigating group dynamics and working with local resouces. I have travelled extensively in Scandinavia, Europe, and Morocco. During my travels I learned about other countries, communities, cultures, and ways of living and thinking. This learning has proved invaluable for my work within the culturally diverse South African society. I first visited South Africa in 1986, to experience the country that had become known for apartheid. I found an amazingly colourful and hospitable population, and felt thoroughly at home. After more visits, I finally came to live permanently in South Africa in 1987. This is a decision I have never had cause to regret, and I enjoy using my skills and abilities to the benefit of my adopted country. |
