standing out is better than fitting in... » Afrikaans http://www.katietjarks.com Just another WordPress weblog Sun, 27 Jun 2010 11:52:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 en hourly 1 what’s in a name? :: http://www.katietjarks.com/whats-in-a-name/ http://www.katietjarks.com/whats-in-a-name/#comments Fri, 08 Aug 2008 19:51:13 +0000 katie http://katietjarks.wordpress.com/?p=139 A couple weeks after arriving in South Africa earlier this year, I was given the Basotho name Palesa. This week, I was given a surname. I am now proudly Palesa Moloi.

Palesa means flower. I have no idea the meaning behind Moloi. But I share with with 2 people I love, Abram and Jeanette Moloi, so I’m embracing it proudly!

As a side note, I’m trying to learn Afrikaans. I’m hoping it’s easier than Sosotho and Zulu, because that’s not going so well!
