Its day 2 and we have gotten a lot of information. today was basically the academic oreintation and volunteering. we also went to UCT campus which is HUGE compaired to Merrimack. O and it has like a MILLION steps so my legs are going to be great by the time i get back lol. anyways there were a lot of great volunteer opportunities we heard about such as a Christian homeless shelter, helping in a hospital with TB patients, a little league baseball team (ill go to the games lol), a childrens home and school, a refugee organization and Leap Science and Math School. All of these programs sound like a great time and are only some of the volunteer stuff UCT and CIEE offers. I will most likely sign up for the homeless shelter, the childrens home and school and maybe the refugee organization but we'll see how everything works out. We also found out some info about credits and the classes which is extra confusing. next week is our UCT orientation so we will find out way more then. well thats all for now (my time is running out!!). Tomorrow i am moving in to my HOME STAY so hopefully i will be able to hook up my laptop and stuff there! anyways miss you all and take to you soon.
Random fact: Amandla means "power or power to the people"
