With each day in Cape Town, there are a handful of
new activities to do, new things to see, and also new things to learn. In the
past few days I have started my internship at City Mission Educational
Services, visited two wineries, gone to my first braii, explored a new beach,
and lastly saw a local artist play at Kirstenbosch Gardens.

Out of all of these
activities I would have to say the braii was the most exciting activity of them
all. Ever since I arrived in Cape Town three weeks ago from today, people have
mentioned the term “braii” over and over. I was unsure what to expect until I
went to my first braii this past Saturday.
To say that it is the same as a barbeque would be an understatement. It took place at one of my teacher’s houses,
Vernon. When we entered his house he welcomed us with open arms and introduced
us to some of his family. From the moment we walked into his house, I felt warm
and welcome. The house immediately felt like home. After socializing for some
time, the food was ready! This included different barbequed meat, fruit salad,
garlic bread, sushi, pasta, and more. Everything was delicious! After the food
we spent more time hanging out. When it was time to leave I already began
looking forward to going to another braii!
Starting my internship I didn’t know what to expect.
I went on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of this week. The first couple days
were slow because I didn’t have much to do, but when Wednesday came it became a
bit more eventful. I was able to go to a community and help serve food to
people in need. I was also able to meet the girls that live in the hostel next
to the school, who I will hopefully be able to work more closely with through
my time here!
These past few days have been amazing and everyday I
become more and more grateful for everything I have in my life. I’m excited to
continue this journey and to keep trying new things!
