The end of the year joys!

The URCSA – Jeffreys bay's Aftercare grew daily for the little more than a month it ran. We have closed now though, because of the exams. I was happy for the help of the World Race Team that volunteered with us for three weeks. I am also thankful for “oom” Barend van Rooyen, who supported us with bread and juice. My two regular helpers got jobs (for which we are thankful for), but it means that I will need to find new helpers for next year.

This week is also the last week of teaching for the Interns. We just spent three weeks of preparing and writing our Career Statements. In this time we refined our motivation for work, discovered our style of work and trust for fruit on our labour.

Even though teaching are winding down, one big event remains before rest can come. We are planning to take 10 girls from the Humansdorp Child Welfare Aftercare on a camp in Jeffreys bay on 2 – 4 December. It will be a first for me to take 10 girls. I have done two all boys camps with the ACVV on “oom” Hannes' farm, but here now it will be only girls. Luckily, Kagiso is coming with and she has some ideas regarding this.
