All of the cultural experiences. From the African drumming and braai, the rugby game, seeing townships, the safari, sundowners with NMMU students and faculty, Robben Island, and more. These were all new experiences for all of us, and it allowed us to be introduced to South African life and culture. Even though there are similarities, the differences between here and there opened my eyes to many new things.

The Walmer Township tour was the most rewarding experience. Not only was the tour itself a valuable cultural activity, but providing supplies to school children was a valuable community service activity as well.

I found it most rewarding when we were able to go to a local township to visit a woman and her sister's pottery store. The entire experience was surreal in that everything was in so much poverty, and the fact we were able to help out these women was a great feeling. The country has a long way to go, and if more people from across the world visit and realize what state the country is in, it will get more exposure and hopefully improve for the better.
