I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AGAIN TODAY!!! Driving in South Africa is a lot of fun & I like driving on the opposite side of the road now. :)
I dropped Mitch, John & Caroline off at their school for the morning session & give out certificates. But on the way to the school we got lost, haha. Took us an extra 30 min to find the school but now I know my way around Esikhawini pretty good now & I got extra practice driving. :)
After dropping them off, Melissa and I met up with Pastor DZ so we could do a survey with students that already went through the program. Had a good time doing that & I also got to meet Pastor DZ's son who attends the school. Next, we dropped off DZ & headed back to meet up with Pastor Kenny so we could go to a school he taught the Smart Choices program and got another survey.
It's very interesting & super helpful reading the surveys because it's already helping us to start thinking of ways to revamp the program & to help clear up any miscommunication/misunderstandingthe students have while going through the program.
Around 3:30pm, Mitch, Melissa, Judy, Glynn, John, Caroline & I went to Cross Roads to meet up with Bianca, Curtis & Rhonda as they were finishing up the Smart Choices program. It was nice to say goodbye to Janet & Bennie. We met Janet last year & she's now the leader of the Smart Choices team in Empangeni. Bennie is the director of Cross Roads which is an after school center for school students.
After that we went to Pastor Clement's to drop off clothes, shoes & gifts for the orphans. All the children are very nice and it was very cool to see all their happy faces. We also went there last year so it was nice to see a lot of the same children again. We played frisbee, took a ton of pics and just played around with them for almost 2 hrs. It was definitely a great way to end our day. We came back to Zulu Lodge, ate dinner then Mitch & I went back to our room to talk, chill & went to bed.
Heading home in 3 days!
