What are my goals for the international internship in South Africa?
What aspects of the culture do I particularly hope to observe and study during the trip?
I wonder...
Is there a sense of community?
What is beautiful?
What do residents do for fun?
What are examples of the arts? (Music, instruments, Museums, Theater)
To what extent do the children enjoy their environment?
How has the global recession impacted S. Africa?
What impact does tourism have on the local economy? (Fifi World Cup, 2010)
What resources are available for students who lose their family due to sickness and/or poverty?
What subjects are taught?
How does SA invest in their youth?
To what degree is education valued?
What resources do teachers and students use?
How do students & teachers interact? Teachers & teachers? Teachers & admin.?
What is a typical school day? Schedule? Transitions? Recess? Arts?
Who will I share my experiences with upon my return?
Family, friends, peers, students, community, contacts in SA & anyone who is interested
We LOVE you! And we be praying for you every day!! Love, Mary, Steve, Cole and Creed Rassin
