Last meeting...

Last night our group came together for the last meeting before we leave. While everyone was a little frazzled due to the upcoming assignments and exams, we were still all able to have a wonderful time together. We watched the movie Sarafina! which really demonstrates the effects of apartheid in one particular setting, through the school children who took it upon themselves to look for freedom. It was a very intense movie and really does demonstrate the severity of the situation, and this is just in one area and in one circumstance. It is based on a true story. We would recommend that you view it to learn some about the history and the effects of Apartheid.

We cannot wait to go to South Africa! The group is getting very excited to go and there will be periodic updates about the trip when we are there (assuming we can get to the right technology).

Thank you again for your prayers and support.
