Almost One Month Away...

Our team is about one month out from heading to Johannesburg.  The schedule is coming together.  We met last Sunday on January 6th at the Digital Storytelling Center in Berkeley.  The venue was great and the team had the opportunity to hear from Amy Hill about her experiences in South Africa, and she showed us some of the powerful digital stories that were made there.

Some of what we accomplished at the meeting were:

  • Booking lodgings for our first few days in Johannesburg.. at Bob's Bunk House
  • Planning for in-services at organizations we will be visiting with ( African Leadership Academy has confirmed with us too!)
  • Updates on our Fundraising.. WE ARE ON OUR WAY TO GOAL!!
  • Assigned homework assignments to research flea markets and wildlife game parks
This week we have also booked our roundtrip tickets between Johannesburg and Cape Town. Our team will not be able to have an in-person meeting this week, but we will meet over the phone.   

Watch out for an update from Crystal and Jamie about some of their experiences watching movies about how South Africa is represented in films!
