2 Way Travel - afternoon tour

Last week 2 Way Travel (yes that's where I - Jul - work) took a group of 60 interntional engineers on an afternoon 'tour' of five sites that we have a volunteering relationship with. The big group split up into five smaller groups and spent the afternoon at one of the five sites. (I had to stay and 'man' the office.)

Jim went along as the 2 Way guide to Izandla zeThemba, an organization in Gugulethu (one of the largest townships here) that offers counselling and services to children and families affected by HIV/AIDS. They also make beads and jewellery to raise funds. Below is Thandeka, the coordinator, giving an introduction to the group. (Sorry Jim is behind the camera in all these photos.)




After the time at the site, the group had snacks of "amagwinya" (fried bread - SO good) and spent time talking with some of the full-time volunteers a zeThemba.
