The Oregon Writing Project at Eastern had the honor to host Emmanuel Milibongwe ("Bonga") Shangase at the 2002 Summer Writing Institute. Bonga Shangase teaches fifth through seventh grade and is also principal at Livangeli Primary School in Livangeli, South Africa.

During the Summer Institute, Bonga presented a workshop on the Zulu language. He also attended a local pow-wow and rode a horse for the first time.

Bonga's visit was arranged with the assistance of Judith Baker of the Boston Writing Project.
