Final Celebration

The final celebration was a time of reflection on the five weeks in Cape Town.  The student speakers, Mary Beth and Lincoln did a remarkable job.  Colleen created a video that unbelievably captured so many moments of the trip.  Overall, the celebration was a nice way to end the trip.  It was also nice to snap some shots with some of the students I've connected with, many of whom I graded.

Morgan is a wonderful woman who has such a heart for people

Claire works for the Athens Banner Herald as a photographer. She has lead such an interesting life and has a very sweet spirit!

Haley was one of the community group leaders and a delight; she really thinks and questions things!

Have I mentioned Christina loves flowers?!

Sherry visited our room often! What an amazing young woman full of life and purpose. Her mother had passed away from breast cancer five years ago and her story of hope is inspiring.

Oh photo jumping.

Fun photo of Mal & me

 

I don't know where Tiffany or Mallory went...oh wait, this may have been taken while we were in line for food (gotta stay busy somehow when you are hungry).

The whole academic group, minus Montgomery who left for Greece the day before

Nikita cracks me up; she has such a great heart and was on the trip for ALL the right reasons

It was amazing to see the growth in Karishma over the last five weeks; Sammy is such a deep thinker; and Michelle is originally from Cape Town and it was incredible to see how she processed & experienced South Africa.

And last, but not least...Joanna, the program director for GL Cape Town (she's a keeper!)
