| Taylor P & Taylor L in bunks on Human Rights Weekend |
This past weekend the group traveled
to Goedgedacht for our Human Rights Weekend. While I was not sure what to
expect, I really enjoyed the experience. It was so fascinating meeting South
Africans, Zambians, Kenyans, etc. and hearing their individual stories. These bright individuals were so outgoing and
friendly! I slept in the “dormitory” and I loved talking to everyone as we went
to bed and as we got ready for the day in the morning.
During the workshop, we talked about
a lot of different human rights. I particularly liked talking about asylum
seekers and refugees. In one of my past classes I did a presentation on Zaatari
Refugee Camp. Despite doing a research project on refugees, I learned so much
from talking about it during the workshops! I thought it was really valuable
that I was able to build upon past knowledge.
While the weekend was enjoyable, I was
excited to come home and begin my week. Yesterday, I attended a baby shower for
one of the Speech Therapists at Eros. It was so sweet that I was included in
this special occasion. Everyone at this school is so welcoming and friendly!
It was also sweet hearing everyone’s
well wishes for my surgery. I’m sad that I will miss two days of work for the
surgery, but I am anxious to get it over with and begin my healing process. I
hope that I will soon be able to resume my normal activities, and be able to
enjoy all that Cape Town offers!
