Earlier today we arrived back from our human rights
weekend. It was such a unique experience and I learned so much while having
fun. Going into this weekend I was a little nervous it would be a lot of
sitting around and listening to people talk, but I was wrong. There was a lot
of interaction with other peers and there was a lot of group action, which I
enjoyed the most. My group was the country of Zambia and we had a very
interesting dynamic. We were always joking and laughing but still managed to
get the work we had to do done. Here is a picture of our group dressed up, as
we had to present to the UN. I really enjoyed this part because it is not
something I am used to doing; I am so used to studying all the time and not
learning things through actually acting them out and saying them.

Bernie and I started our activist project last
Thursday and I couldn’t be more excited that we chose to work with the
Firefighters soccer team in Khayelitsha. Bongi is an amazing passionate person
and it shows so much in how he carries himself and how he speaks to the
children. Bernie and I both grew up playing soccer so getting to pass our
knowledge down to these children is so rewarding and enjoyable at the same
time. We are going to learn so much from this experience and I cannot wait
until out tournaments start. Here is a picture of Bongi explaining to his team
how they plan to set up their team on game days.
