Let me just tell you guys about the beauty of a child's smile. My classmates and I have the amazing opportunity to spend a good chunk of our time here, working with a group of young kids living in the Delft Township of Cape Town. These kids are definitely the highlight of my trip. They are so full of life and energy. One of the little girls has so much rhythm it's crazy. You can definitely see why this is the birthplace of a lot of the dances we have back home. They are just born with a natural rhythm and fire that I truly do envy and wish our country had more of. On Friday, we put together a playlist full of different dance songs from back home and played them for the kids. They LOVED it and caught on to every dance almost instantly. They're so curious about our lives and what life is like back in the states, but all I wanna hear about is their lives and what they like to do and what they're hopes and dreams are. Conversation is always fun with these kids. You can't imagine how rewarding it is to ride up to the site and have all the kids greeting you smiling and waving! Indescribable.
