Today we headed to the Apartheid museum in the early morning. It was another beautiful and sunny day which helps to keep the spirits high for all of us. Each student had their own take on the museum but it was truly powerful. The museum is structured such that one walks through each year of Apartheid from it's inception all the way to the fall. We spent approximately 3 hours touring the museum, watching several interactive videos, and having some pretty intense discussions with one an other. I think everyone had a very unique experience in this museum so it might be a great conversation piece when your student returns! It was a museum that I will never forget and I think it provided a perfect closure for our final day in Johannesburg.
In the afternoon we returned to the hostel and took a siesta- I am nearly certain that everyone fell asleep for at least an hour- our days have been action packed and it was a well deserved and needed break. We then walked to a park and played some team building games and circus activities with a former Windsor Mountain leader and good friend, Tim Cunningham. The adventure in the park wrapped up with a great game of ultimate frisbee while some of our students began reading up and preparing for our journey to Durban leaving early tomorrow morning.
Group morale is high and all are happy and healthy!
Until Durban,
Thatcher
