Swearing In and Signing Out from Camp Okahandja

It’s been a couple of weeks since we left Okahandja for our permanent sites. Here are a few highlights from our final days at our first Africa home: The ladies of CATJAR, our fresh food tailgate, a traditional dress fashion show and of course, swearing in. (Where I unfortunately failed to capture a full Nam 27 group shot.)


The CATJAR (Plus Honorary Members: Jeffie B, Juice and Ian)

Jill,

Thanks for the picture of the native dress. That is the only picture we have of Betsy in her dress so far (we have CD on way from Namibia now).
