CANSA Relay on October 5th in Gauteng! On the 5th of October YFU participated in the CANSA Relay in Centurion, outside Pretoria. For those of you who do not know what CANSA works with is it the cancer association of South Africa. The relay was to walk about 400m around an area between 4PM in the afternoon until early morning at 6AM the next day, a total of 14 hours. On the sides of the lane, organisations and companies had tents to promote their business, while we were all thinking of those who could not make it. We started out at 10 o’clock in the morning by setting up the tents and lay out information sheets. We also had German and South African cookies we gave out to people around us with South African flags with information about YFU. It was a warm day and we tried to stay away from the sun as much as possible. When the relay started, the organisation estimated a total of 3000 participants in the relay. During the night they called out different themes and we then had to change our clothes. Some of the themes were feathers and Ferraris, sports, pyjama lap, worst dress etc. When were done the next morning I think we were all tired and tried to get home as soon as we could. I would summarise the day as successful where we got the chance
