We finished up our training in the morning and were
transported to the communities for our welcome ceremony.
They had several community leaders come up and speak. The
guys playing DJ would blast random funny music for each person’s entrance like
it was a sporting match or something.
They sang the National Anthem for us as well as had a
performance of a play from the highschoolers of Diyamani Highschool (the main high
school in Gottenburg). There were bits of English slang mixed into the play and
it was hilarious. I still understood what was going on most of the time even
when I didn’t know what they were saying. A group of girls from Hlalakahle, the
neighboring community April and her scholars reside in, did some dancing. It
was really cute.
April and I starting dancing with the girls at the end. That
seemed to help the scholars warm up a little. The sun set quickly and I walked
home with my Papa Elvis and Quiet.
When I reached my homestay house it felt oddly home in a
way. It was good to back. Good to see my homestay family’s sweet faces. I was
exhausted from all the training and traveling. I feel like I haven’t seen them
in a LONG time.
