Yay! Tonight is our first South Africa bonding experience (other than the meetings), we are all meeting at Karl's House around 6 to have a potluck and practice our Xhosa skills. Xhosa is the dialect they speak in Khayelitsha, the township we are going to be staying in for two weeks. They speak english too, but we really want to impress them with trying to communicate with them in their native language. Xhosa is a "click" language, so its definitely going to take time and energy to master even basic sayings. But hey, its the thought that counts! So a majority of us are all meeting tonight to have some food and drinks, and practice! I'm really looking forward to forming incredible friendships with these other students, and spending time with them in Cape Town! The picture on this post is a picture of Khayelitsha, the township we will be living in for two weeks. This part of the program is going to be the most challenging, physically and mentally. But it's going to be an amazing experience, and really open my eyes to new things. I can't wait!!-Kaitlin
