Dispatches from Lesotho
Back in my heady days of ultimate Frisbee stardom, I used to have a mighty forehand flick, but it was nothing compared to Mr Will McGrath's. Now, in our sodden old days Will has moved on, to the small country of Lesotho, where he works in the education system and maintains a blog called Pudgy Millions.With apologies to my sister, I rarely post personal blogs onto Gadling, because there are many irrelevancies among them that just don't apply to the greater travel audience. But Will's is different. Reading his words you get a real feel for the kingdom of Lesotho, the gravity of its inhabitants, the color and shape of its land. Will tells the story that I'm sure many foreign workers experience in Africa, of plight of AIDS, the poor education system and the general madness of the Dark Continent.
Start by taking a look at a few of his more gripping articles, covering none other than scrabble, getting mugged in South Africa and an bittersweet essay centered around a local boy named Thato. Yes, they're long, but they're good lunchtime reading.
If it suits your fancy, take a look at the rest of Pudgy Millions and say hi to Will while you're there.
