Three days left...

Thursday was the last lecture day at Etafeni. The students started with the presentation preparations and also said goodbye to some of the staff members, to which we grew close. It was also the last day with the pre school children, that is why the group gave some candy to them.




In the afternoon we had our last lecture by Dr. Johann Graaff about South Africa's ancient archeological past. He showed us a different view on history interpretation.



Felix: "The last three weeks at Etafeni were intense and extremely interesting. The positive attitude of the whole team of Etafeni towards all difficulties is inspiring. I have learned a lot in the last week's and I'm grateful to have been welcomed so well."

On Monday we visited some animal rescue centre and were able to see some of the wild animals from the near. We spent the next two days in the Kruger National Park to experience the animals in the wild. We were lucky to see all of the so called big five: lions, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and Cape buffalo. It was just amazing.  On Thursday morning, our way to the International Airport of Johannesburg started with a delay, due to a reperation of the bus battery. After everything was fixed, we started our way back and arrived finally in time. But this was also the time to say goodbye and to end the adventure which began nearly four weeks ago in Cape Town.
