A Lovely Weekend with Great People
By Megan Slavish, 2/6/2012 - "Dumela", Botswana: Thinking from Inside the Bots
It’s been really fun gettingto know people from here.  Myroommate Grace is so sweet, and we have had a lot of fun together since we met.  She also has a mini fridge, one of thegreatest things in my life right now. A couple of weekends ago Grace and I went out to an “Irish” pub... Botsstyle, that…

We didn’t have water all day yesterday so I was a very smelly little person.  That just happens here.  You go to brush your teeth in the morning and the water is off, no big deal.  We had no warning or any knowledge of if it was ever going to come back on again or when.  So I went without brushing…

Botswana: University Immersion in Southern Africa

Follow us online

Rebekah Bally Studying abroad through the ACM Botswana program was a perfect blend of exciting cultural learning and personal growth. Although the program is centered around the University, I gained many invaluable experiences outside the classroom. Forging friendships with Batswana and ACM students alike, traveling throughout sub-Saharan Africa, volunteering with a Pediatric AIDS clinic, and completing an auto-ethnographic research project all challenged me to become more confident, patient, flexible and understanding. Lessons learned and experiences had in Botswana will forever positively influence my future endeavors.
