Posted Final night in Cape Town/ back home to EDHD 3100 - South Africa: Tracing the Footsteps of Social Change 2011/12
I could not believe it was the last day. I woke up and got ready to head out to Boulders beach to go see some penguins. We took the train there and it was fun looking out the window and realizing how beautiful a place could be, and how much I would miss it. It was also sad because our time had finally come; it was all happening to quick. As we tried to make it to Simons town, we ran into a pickle, first we had made it to the last train stop, but we still had to get...
Posted Cooking, Eating, Class, Jazz, Sleep :) to EDHD 3100 - South Africa: Tracing the Footsteps of Social Change 2011/12
Cooking meals for about 400 or 500 people at Afrika Tikkun was great. We had a couple tears thanks to the onions. However, the gist of this for me was enjoying spending time with some of my new friends that I had met. We all fooled around while in the process but it was all great. Some of the others helped paint one of the offices, and organize a storage room. After a great day in the morning, we finally had the chance to try the food we had prepared. It was good. The time had finally came it was...
Posted Austin to EDHD 3100 - South Africa: Tracing the Footsteps of Social Change 2011/12
It sad to see a small child outside of a restaurant and walk passed him as if he was not even there. Today I missed Austin after meeting him for about 15 min. He is an eleven-year-old boy with four other siblings. He simply asked for food, we ordered food for him and the rest of his family. How can people be so blind, he is just a child? I am glad I made this trip. It has made me stronger and understanding person. I know the problems at home do not compare to what people in South Africa have...
Posted Afrika Tikkun to EDHD 3100 - South Africa: Tracing the Footsteps of Social Change 2011/12
As we made our way to our first day of service in Delft, I thought I was prepared for what awaited us on this beautiful day in South Africa. It amazes me how things can change so quickly in mere seconds. Working at the garden in Afrika Tikkun today was great. I felt like I had finally come to do what I was expecting this trip would be. Which were Service learning and social justice. However, after we had worked on the garden in the morning. We headed off to the community hospital. Before getting there though we walked through...
Posted Hier het ons kom Suid-Afrika (Here we come South Africa) to EDHD 3100 - South Africa: Tracing the Footsteps of Social Change 2011/12
Hey everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. My name is Daisy hidalgo and I am a freshman. I plan to major in Political science, and recently declared Spanish minor. I am also thinking about a social justice minor or management. One of those, I am not sure which one but maybe I will figure it out on this trip to South Africa. Being one of the two freshman makes me pretty happy. This is something that college freshman do not do their first year, I am glad that I am one of the few that get this...
