Guestbook entry: Menke

The following is an excerpt from community volunteer Menke's entry in our African Impact Guestbook. Read on to discover her advice for future volunteers! 
  1. Kids can handle a lot. 
  2. Just say "Yebo!" (yes) when a kid talks to you in Zulu.
  3. Learn from Shwele and Nokwethemba, the medical and community coordinators.
  4. Sing songs during brick building. It works! (Brick Me Baby One More Time, for example). 
  5. Be creative and open-minded. 
  6. Open your eyes to all the beauty around you. 
  7. Go horseback riding. It kills you, but it's worth it. 
  8. Scenic flight, it's AMAZING. 
  9. Go to Thyme Square for breakfast, lunch and cake. 
  10. Go experience a Bab's night at least once. 
  11. Enjoy every minute of every day. Before you know it, it's over!
