Today I had to say goodbye to two classes of grade ones, my teachers, and all the other children I've gotten to know over the past month. My students came up to hug me one by one and by the end I was a complete crying mess!
I have some really great photos coming of my last day, as well as seal pictures, but they will have to wait. When some of the other volunteers suggested going out for lunch it sounded like a great idea, so I never went back to the flat for my laptop. Tomorrow I most likely won't have a chance to post as it's a busy day of seeing cheetahs and lions, but I will be sure to post again on Sunday and get some photos up. :)
Now that I'm at the end of my volunteering I am so very grateful that I've had this opportunity. I am deeply and profoundly humbled and feel I've learned more from my students than they could ever have learned from me. I promise this will not be the end of my quest to make a difference in the world. It's in my blood now.
On Sunday I will leave Muizenburg for three days in Capetown before I head back home on Wednesday at 8 pm. I haven't had a lot of time to spend in Cape Town, so I'm still looking forward to this. Table Mountain has yet to have my feet upon it, and there are numerous little places I'm hoping to visit. There will probably be at least one more picture gallery to go up before I leave, so don't abandon me just yet!
On that note, thank you for following me thus far. Sharing my experience has added a richness to this trip that I couldn't have predicted. I feel like I'm paying just a little more attention to things so that I can talk about them later.
