Last week we concentrated on Youth & Education. We visited the Sarepta High School in Kuils River, where we had some interesting conversations with the students there. They told us about their lives, their local area and about the challenges they have to cope with in school as well as in their lives in general.

The other school we visited this week was the Tertiary School in Business Administration (TSiBA) in Pinelands. The TSiBA students welcomed us warmly and after an indroduction our task was to solve several problems together. It was very interesting to see how different the approaches we used were.

Finally we went to Velokhaya, a non-profit organisation focused on introducing the sport of cycling to previously disadvantaged communities. It was the highlight for most of our students. Everybody put on a helmet, got on a bike and then we were ready to cycle a few rounds of the race track. It was great fun and before we returned the kids showed us how to ride the track professionally and impressed us with their jumps.
