Wheatons Visit

Wheaton does a faculty led January trip to South Africa and Botswana every year. They arrived in Gabarone during our second week here and we were able to meet them twice. Thursday night we met up for some dinner, and Friday we were able to accompany them to Professor Thabo Fako's house for dinner and a tour of his village Mopani. Professor Fako is one of only four full professors here at UB and he is also the director of the Center for Continuing Education. He is really nice, and has spent two semesters teaching on Fulbright at Wheaton, so he knows about both. I think he will be a great resource for us, he requested us to think of him as an uncle while here. Hopefully we'll get to meet up with him again this week.
