Introduction

Hello!  My name is Wendy Harris and I am a JrHS/HS Social Studies teacher at Metro Deaf School (MDS).  I am excited to have been selected for a National Endowment for the Humanities study trip in South Africa this summer!  On this bilingual blog, students, friends and families can follow my experiences and also ask questions about South Africa.  I will attempt to find answers for all the questions.
