Becca has seen and done more than she could have ever imagined

It is so hard to believe that we have been here a month already. The days are flying by here at Cape Town and it is really starting to scare me. Hopefully I will be able to do everything that I want to while I am here. But looking back at it, I have seen so much and done more than I ever thought I would. Working at Tafelsig has been so amazing, yeah it is really busy there every day, but I am learning so much. To me it is amazing that all the nurses there, especially Sister Castle, know this much about chronic illnesses and other diseases and no matter what case is presented to them, they seem to know what is going on. It is so cool and I am so happy that I get to work there. Even though I haven’t been there for long, I really enjoy working with all the staff and Sister Castle is giving us more and more responsibilities including more about education, which is something that I am excited to do.

I have also gotten use to navigating around Cape Town and we have done some really fun activities. Hiking Lion’s Head was amazing and I am so excited to do even more hiking. We also got to go to the beach the other weekend which made me the happiest person being able to swim in the ocean in January. Also the concerts here are so much fun, from Jimmy Nevis to FreshlyGround at Kristenbosch, I am so excited to spending as much time as I can outside enjoying this South African summer.
