YFU South Africa Newsletter - November 2013

to endure the good natured jokes, answering of “serious� baby questions and being fed something horrible that resembled baby food. Also on Saturday was our YFU concert. The students made us laugh with their shows about transport, school, family life, food, security and music and the teamers and volunteers opened their program with a Sunday school song that quickly changed to some toi-toiing about equal right, electric lights and big corn bites. It was a fun evening that ended around a bon fire.

Sunday was there too soon and although we could sense that the students just wanted to have fun there were still some sessions the get through. Some of the volunteers had one on one meetings with students that were identified as having had a difficult time so far and that also went well.

The first students and volunteers left on Sunday afternoon and early evening and by Monday morning all left Athalia Eden feeling tired but satisfied. All are looking forward to the rest of the year with their families and new friends.
