Brit takes a turn blogging

So its finally my turn to write the blog. Well yesterday (7/28/08) we woke up late after our sleep deprived weekend at camp. Our itinerary for yesterday was to visit Masi High School and shadow some of students for two periods. We go to the classes, and Dwight and I were in the class Economics, but there was a slight twist; the class was entirely taught in Xhosa (their native language.) So that was a different experience. After school was over we visited the Masi library and played games with the children there. After we were done at the library we met up with the students that we shadowed during the day. It was then that it really struck me that these teenagers live in shacks. But you would never have known that from the way they looked at school. All their unifoms were immaculate and they looked incredibly pulled together. Last night we said goodbye to Mary deBoer who left at like 4am to her flight to Tanzania! W will miss her and her sense of humor. Today we're going the the historically significant site of Robbin Island. Miss you all back in Ohio!
