So, it's been almost four weeks since I posted something - FAIL. I'm gonna blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-alcohol.
Somethings we did during week five that we've done before: Sibongile, human trafficking demonstrations, Living Grace, Girls Club in Mfuleni and soccer clinic.
Something different we did during week five: tutoring at a library in Masiphumele (township about 25 minutes from Muizenberg).
Not that the same things happen each week, theres always differences, but I think it feels like so long ago that I can't remember. Read the team blog (Click here). It has alot more info.
So you know all that useless information they make you learn in school? Stuff like the structural make-up of hydrochloric acid and trigonometry? They promise you that you'll need to use it one day but you know that they're lying. Well, it turns out that you do need to know it - when you're trying to teach it to someone else. On monday we jumped in the van and headed to Masi to tutor some high school kids at an after-school programme called Ikamva Youth. Despite promises that we are well educated enough to help the kids we soon discovered that we'd forgotten all that useless information. Mainly because we haven't had to use it. They lied.
Something else we did - eat alot of meat. One of the leaders here took us out for lunch. We went to a place called Mzoli's. You basically go to the butchers and select what meat you want, they then take it next door and braai (sorta like a BBQ but not) it for you. A little while later they hand you a plate full of meat. Fun times.
If you feel like this hasn't explained what we did very well then you should read the team blog (Click here). It has alot more info.
