Today was our last class before getting to invade the classroom. It was a very fun day. At recess I got to play with some kids and climb trees. It was a lot of fun just hanging out with them. They especially loved me picking them up so they could reach the branches and helping them down from the tree. 90% of them only climbed up so they could get a ride down from me. They keep telling me I’m so strong, so I don’t mind doing it because it’s a good ego boost.
Class was fun as well. It’s crazy how Grant is able to make 6 hours of class fly by! Every time we transition in class he makes us sing or dance to make sure we are alive and entertained. He just got a new projector with the money Stellenbosch gave the school for this class and he loves playing with it. He loves putting up youtube videos, so we listened to Michael Jackson’s “Heal the World” and Whitney Houston’s “The Children are Our Future” to inspire us. We also listened to other stuff just to dance around to, so we would be laughing and comfortable.
Our ride was late to pick us up, so he took us through their gardens and shared fresh vegetables with us. I had the most delicious carrot I’ve ever had. He made us take our shoes off to feel the dirt and ground. It felt real good to do this and truly feel Africa between my toes. At these moments I really felt connected to it and it was a cool feeling. I’m hoping this weekend’s nature and hiking will give me this same feeling.
Sorry this was real quick I need to hurry off to catch the bus to head out on our trip. Enjoy the weekend!
