...and we feel like we've been here for weeks. I've realized that the incredible thing about this GSE program is that we dive right into the heart and soul of a country and its people, so it feels as though we've been here for much longer. In just 3 days, I'm beginning to realize that this is unlike any experience we could ever have imagined as tourists.
Tourists don't go from seeing zebra on a game drive to visiting a center for women and girls who were victims of human trafficking and violence. Tourists don't go from seeing South Africa's largest and most impressive casino to seeing watching a disabled child receive horseback riding therapy at a rehabilitation and learning center for children. Tourists do not go from enjoying a traditional braai (barbecue) with South African families to exploring a chrome mine and then listening to uplifting gospel music from the mouths of terribly ill patients suffering from HIV and other diseases. Yeah, seriously.
These are only SOME of the magical things we've been a part of so far and it's ONLY our third day here. I have zzzzilllions of pictures and a lot of great videos which I'm working into a movie--it'll be a beauty, so stay tuned!
