News from Cape Town (#RSIC2017)

Following two inspirational presentations, the girls departed the conference centre to spend the rest of the day working on local service projects. Around 5.30pm we, adults, having finished Round Square business meetings, caught up with them at the Bridge House School.

We were warmly welcomed by all members of their community and, after a short ceremony, we all joined barazza (discussion) groups before enjoying a traditional braai, a South African asado. Later, the girls were matched with their respective hosts, Bianca and Delfina, Camila and Florencia while Mía is sharing with a delegate from Germany.

The weather was again fabulous; however, rain showers are forecast tomorrow. All girls are making the most of this incredible opportunity…hard work, but a thrilling chance to share valuable time with others, the same age from around the world. Well done, girls.
