April 23 and 24

Our final two days at Cloetesville..... For the first part of the day I talked with my students about the election and whether or not they thought that Zuma was good for the country. Their responses were very interesting and it was great to see how involved they all are in politics. For dinner tonight Jeff and I went to Mr. and Mrs. Siljeur's house to have dinner. They made soooo much food for us. It was absolutely delicious and it was great to see some of the teachers outside of the school. We were at their home for about 3 hours talking and drinking coffee/tea and it was one of my favorite nights of the entire trip.
On Friday we had our final day at Cloetesville Secondary School....this was a very sad day for everyone. The teachers gave us all a glass with the school logo on it and also a t-shirt with the school logo on it as well. Also, they bought a bunch of food so we had a little send off party as well. Jeff, Kate, and I all felt very glad to be a part of such a great school and amazing group of teachers at Cloetesville. It was very difficult to say goodbye to everyone and I believe that I got about 20 or so different email addresses from teachers and students so I will try to keep in touch with as many as possible.
