Africa #2 Summer Camp
Posted by Nate at AAVE in : Africa, General AAVE Trip BLOG , trackback
Hello Friends and family back home. So far so good! We are about to enjoy a lovely cultural dinner out for our last night in Zambia. The group is having a lot of fun and enjoying being spoiled in the beginning of the trip instead of at the end. We have done some amazing things already. We visited an orphanage before volunteering our time on site. The orphan kids sang and danced with us. I think it was an incredible experience for everyone. Every student in our group was great with the kids and loved holding hands and asking them questions. We got to play soccer, frisbee and we taught them a few American games. We have also spent time at the local market learning how to bargain for our gifts and hiked around Victoria falls today. Some even got to hold baby crocs!
The group so far is very mature and very helpful. They are enjoying themselves a lot and looking forward to the next few days in Botswana. We will be camping in Chobe National Park and where we will hopefully get to see lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras and much more.
Here are some comments from the kids:
