Capetown
Hello again!
Yesterday was our last day in Waterfall and now we have finished our work at Agape and are in Capetown for a couple weeks. It was really sad to leave all of the kids and the other volunteers who didn't come to Capetown with Louise and Sabine and I. My stay in Waterfall was an amazing experience to say the least and I can only hope that one day I'll be back and see all the kids again.On our last night all of the volunteers went out for a goodbye dinner which was really fun but the best part of the evening was when we came back to the volunteer house just in time to turn on the tv and see the older Agape children's choir preforming at the 46664 concert for Nelson Mandella's birthday. They were amazing and getting to see them preform was such a proud moment. They sang "We Are Together" with Annie Lennox and then stood next to Mandella when he gave his speach so look for them if you watch it again! I really wish I could see them when they get back and hear all about their trip. I tried to add a few photos but sadly as always my internet time is limited. The hostel we're staying at has a few computers though so I will continue to let you all know what were up to. Today were renting a car and driving down to Cape point where the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean meet. It is supposed to be one of the nicest drives in the world but I'm just a bit worried about how driving on the other side of the road will be...but Louise has assured me that she will be the one doing the driving and that it will be fine... haha I hope so!
take care!
xoxo

Annie Lennox looked like she was hogging the spotlight at the concert because of the way she hung with the kids and draped her arms around them. She obviously knew where the cameras would be focused.Thanks for sending the blog link. Whenever I feel like checking out Africa, there you are. Plus, I have a clock in my office with the African continent as its face, and little figurines - a camel, an elephant, a giraffe and a bi-plane - sticking out at 12, 3, 6 and 9 o'clock. Africa is where it's at. Good for you to have found that out already.
Take care, Harry
