On Sunday me and Kate and Patrick went to the airport to meet up with the American team. We were so excited! It was so awesome to see Caroll and Wayne again and to meet the rest of the team. I have had so much fun with them already; they are awesome people.
We got driven to the Mennonite Guesthouse, and when we got there me and Kate were gaping for a while. This is the most beautiful accommodation I have ever stayed in in Africa! It's like an old English cottage with the most beautiful big yard and gardens. It has a tennis court, volleyball net, a massive wooden swing hanging from a tree...it's like a completely different world than the places we've been staying at in Africa. It's a really, really nice place to come back to after an exhausting day.
Today was our first day to the school as a team so all the kids put on a performance for us. It was amazing staring at the sea of faces realizing just how much the school has grown. There are soo many children and the secondary school has grown so much which is really cool. They are all such beautiful kids; so well behaved and so responsive to us.
We were all really tired by the afternoon. We were going to go to the crazy markets but found out it was closed, so we decided to go to the giraffe centre but got caught in crazy traffic so we went back to the guesthouse and just had a relaxing afternoon, hanging out and planning for tomorrow.
It's so great to be part of a bigger team. Me and Kate have loved working together and have no idea what we would do without each other! But it's been refreshing for both of us to be part of the buzz and excitement of a new team.
Anni,
ReplyDeleteThe Mennonite Guest House is my favorite place. It is so peaceful and grounds are beautiful! I am glad you got to stay here this time.
Being part of a team (2 or more) is so important. We need each other to help us keep going and move forward! So glad you are a part of this team.
