Comments on: Where is home for an American child in southern Africa? http://nancyhendersonjames.com Mon, 25 Jul 2011 09:45:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: Heidi Sand-Hart http://nancyhendersonjames.com/comment-page-1/#comment-140 Heidi Sand-Hart Mon, 25 Jul 2011 09:45:15 +0000 http://nancyhendersonjames.com/?page_id=6#comment-140 Hi Nancy, Congratulations on your book! It is exciting to see more "Third Culture Kid" books coming out. I also wrote a book about growing up as a TCK - "Home Keeps Moving". It was published last summer in America. I guess my account will be slightly different to yours since I grew up in India, UK and Norway to the parents of missionaries. I look forward to reading your story! All the best, Heidi Sand-Hart http://homekeepsmoving.blogspot.com/ Hi Nancy,

I'm living with my mother and my brother, my father is still in Angola. i'm 17 years old, i'm in High school doing grade 10, the reason why i'm still late in school is because i had to stay 1 year learning english in order to speak and to study in Namibia, and when i came to Portugal, they delayed me 2 year at school. So now i have to catch up and be the best at what i do in order to get a scholership to study in your country U.S.A, that is my dream. I think you will love Angola, it's very different now, i mean, really different because the 1975 war destroyed the country but now it's okay, is beautiful and the people are amazing there! Now i am in holidays, and i still don't know if i am going to Angola for holidays or not, and i hope to go so we can all meet each other.

It will be wonderful to see it begin to be restored to use. Dondi was the epicenter of UCC work in Angola, a jewel of a mission. It will be wonderful to see it begin to be restored to use.

It is great to read your website and to make a connection with someone who has lived in Angola. I am giving leadership to Men's Ministries with the United Church of Canada and presently we are promoting the Dondi Project, building a school in Lutamo. Thanks for putting our YouTube on your site. We are raising 1 million dollars and are working closely with Luis Samicumbi and the Evangelical Congregational Church in Angola. I live in Toronto. Where are you living? I look forward to continuing opportunities to communicate with you. Blessings Lloyd Paul Hello Nancy: I received a copy of your email from Kate Rodd.

How cool to read a book that has me in it! Even though I grew up in Mozambique (Portuguese East Africa)my experiences were so very much like yours when I returned to USA and the experience affected my personality in similar ways. I returned to USA when I was sixteen also. It had to be much more difficult for you since you were sent away to boarding school at such a young age. We didn't go until we were 12 or 13. That made a big difference. Also, our folks didn't return to Africa and leave us behind. They had planned to but apparently (I didn't find this out until later) Mom told Dad that she couldn't leave us behind and if he felt he had to return she would stay in America with her children. He wasn't willing to do that so they ended their missionary service after 2 terms. I have lost touch with all the kids I knew at AMF--Mary Seager, Barbara Schaad, David and John Persons, Melvin and Jerry Noah, Terry and Melden Houser,Kenny Enright and Graham and Rosemary (don't remember their last name) from Australia. We left Africa in 1963 just as things were getting heated up all over. I have never been back. Hi Nancy,
