Sunday, July 27th – day 9
Today we finally get to sleep in! Hoorah!

We are flying from Johannesburg to Cape Town today. Thank goodness it is just over a 2-hour flight! My body begins to ache when I think about the soon to be coming 18 hour flight.

Check in to the Oak Tree Lodge in Paarl. Unlike previous years we are not going to stay with a host family. Instead we will interact with the community after school hours and then arrange for a drive back to the lodge at night.
Our night activity will be at Bergendal Intermediate School. It is an evening Potjiekos.

I can’t wait to once again interact with the students and hear their stories and experience their eagerness to learn.

The general atmosphere thus far has been: Education is Freedom.
A powerful message that clearly motivates the students at all ages.

Additionally, I can’t wait to get to the Laundromat. We were all encouraged to pack light and now we are all starting to run out of clothing. Thank goodness we are all such an accepting group : )
