Katherine finding her niche


After being in Cape Town for over a month, it’s interesting to see how much we’ve all acclimated to our new surroundings. When I take a step back and look at all we’ve done so far, both on a group and an individual level, I can see a big difference from when we first arrived in January. Now that everyone has internships and is on there way to beginning their activist projects, we’ve begun to take on responsibilities in this town. Everyone has some sort of project that they are working on, and sometimes it even runs past our set internship hours. We’ve also learned to make our way to other places through public transport, which is something that at least I know I was very nervous about having to do. Many of us have also had the opportunity to befriend locals and have them show us what Cape Town has to offer. It makes me really excited to see everyone finding their own niche in this town, and it makes me look forward to the upcoming events of the next two months.
