Nancy's South Africa Testimonial:
I spent a wonderful two weeks in small rural village called Malungeni (East Cape Province) South Africa. Most of our time was helping in the school; I helped Miss Thobeka teach Kindergarten and first grade. We also had daily "after school programs" at our guest house (tutoring, practicing reading in English, crafts projects, etc.) for all age kids. It was a magic time... walking to school in the morning, saying good morning to the people, the cows, the chickens and the geese. There was a wonderful welcome and goodbye party with traditonal songs and dance. I LOVED THIS PROGRAM!
