Vanzant Thu, 21 May 2009 23:05:12 +0000 http://blogs.pstcc.edu/southafrica2009/?p=55#comment-14 This day alone made our presence in South Africa worthwhile. Our visit to the township of Khayelitsha was enjoyable and inspirational. The children at Philani and Soshumelela Creche were beautiful and full of life. However, to be knowledgeable of the conditions in which they live is heartbreaking. Whether or not they know the severity of their circumstances, the children were full of joy and happiness. For this reason alone, I gained so much more out of this visit than anything that I have experienced in South Africa. We were able to impact the lives of these children for an afternoon; however, I hope that we as students will take what we’ve learned and make it a lifestyle to empower others in similar situations.

These townships were so eye-opening. These people are leaving are in absolute poverty, but these children that we met were so full of joy. It really makes you think about all that we have in America and appreciate how extremely blessed we are. It is something that I will never forget.

Of course, from what I am reading, sounds like every day you are experiencing there is also one you will never forget! This sounds like a day no one who was there will ever forget.
