We had a braai in the township of Guguletu, which was a great experience. Although, it did feel like everyone from the township was looking at us funny. The food was amazing. We ordered 3 or 4 different kinds of meats and the meat was brought out in...

Posted Changing to EDHD 3100 - South Africa: Tracing the Footsteps of Social Change 2011/12

The Educo retreat was one of the most powerful things I have ever experienced. It was perfect having the retreat right at the beginning of the trip because it gave our group the chance to really bond...
