In Khayelitsha township; outskirts of Cape Town, South Africa
The best thing I’ve done in my life so far was when I lived on the road for nearly a year exploring my own country. Since then I’ve gone global, and my experiences abroad have changed the way I think, talk, eat, shower, and even dress. With this blog I hope to convey to my readers that even just one trip to a new place can make us realize that we can all contribute to the overwhelming amount of work that needs to be performed in our global village. We can’t be stationary if we want to affect constructive change.
With grade 9 & 10 learners in Cape Town
I am all for Global Villages and recognizing the need to help others…all the time…wherever we are. Good work Marisa!! Keep your chin up because it is not always going to be uplifting, but in some way it will help you become who you are!!!
Marissa, its like a new world out there when you’re stepping out into the world not known first hand. I guess its like our forefathers who left Europe to find a place better for them by coming to North America. Challenges abounded, the unknown lands and mysteries of the forest and the jungle. Our forefathers faced bitter winters, disseases with no cures, threats of invasions by the English and Spanish, and French, yet they were able to begin a new life and a new country, conceived in Liberty. Challenges were met and conquered or corrected.
You’re doing a great job by passing on your travels and your amazing writing skills by posting them in your blog…Karen and I really have enjoyed the entries about Granada.
Thank you Bill and Karen my number one fans!
