We had an incredible meeting today! We had a guest speaker that came in to talk about her trip to South Africa. She visited Johannesburg and Cape Town. She explained how eye opening her experience there was. She brought so many pictures to give us a feel for what we are going to see when we travel to Cape Town, South Africa. We saw pictures of Betty's Bay, Harmanus, Table Mountain, and Robben Island. Betty's Island and Harmanus are where you can go to get a majestic view of South Africa. You can stand on rocks very close to the ocean and can see penguins and whales! Robben Island is the place where the Nelson Mandela was imprisoned. The cool thing about this tourist site is that all of the tour guides are former prisoners from Robben Island. Robben Island was a prison where only political prisoners were held. Most of the prisoners were Black, Indian or Colored. But, there was one white prisoner. He was kept in a cell all by himself.
After the guest speaker we had our committee reports. Exciting new fundraisers are all coming together nicely.
After this meeting, I am SOO excited to go to South Africa. I knew that I was excited, but after hearing her incredible story I know that we will have a life-changing experience. :) :)
