Anna has been in South Africa as a Peace Corps volunteer for nearly a year now. She's stationed in a rural area near the small town of Commondale which is about 30 km from Piet Retief. If you look at a map, she's actually near the border of Swaziland in Mpumalong Province, but right near the northern boader of Kwazulu Natal Province. She'll be working with the schools and communities in the area 'til her tour is up in April 2000.
Her contact information is:
Anna Domenico
P.O. Box 2270
Piet Retief 2380
South Africaadomenico@pobox.com, but she doesn't get a chance to check this very often.

Anna's House Under Construction. Friends taking a break for some food and a keg of Utshwala beer during the construction of Anna's new house in a rural area near Commondale which is about 30 km from Piet Reteif in South Africa. It's in the Northeast part of the country near the boarder of Swaziland.
Mama Jaku. "Paceka-ing my room and laughing at me as usual."
The Buthelezi Kraal. "A neighbor's place, just a few houses away at Newhome. Mama waSipho, Happy and Max, and the neighbor kids on a rare cloudy day." This is what the houses look like when they are finished.
Ayanda, Anna, and Mamsi. "My new best friends in my room."
Friends Playing "Umshado" (Wedding). "Sisi Mamsi is in the middle wearing the veil -- the new 'blessed kid'."
