After each morning’s volunteer work, students have gradually been exploring the Cape Town area. Always traveling in pairs or groups via a terrific taxi service as recommended by our Connect 123 hosts, our people are going to local beaches (it is summer here with current temps in the 70s and 80s), museums, and other spots such as the waterfront. Shown here are a few snapshots from the waterfront area as well as the Castle of Good Hope www.castleofgoodhope.co.za, visited by some yesterday.
Another moving day at Red Cross Children’s Hospital as play volunteers, visiting children, with puzzles, coloring, and other toys to brighten their days. Afterwards, we broke into groups for various afternoon activities including a trip to the Castle of Good Hope, built between 1666 and 1679 by the Dutch East India Company as a maritime replenishment station.
Hard to believe it’s only been one week, when we’ve seen so much. Coming back from the game lodge we stopped at an Aloe factory, then later on at an incredible spot overlooking Cape Town and the ocean in the distance. Since arriving back Sunday evening, we’ve returned to the Red Cross Children’s hospital for visits with the children today and will be there again tomorrow.
