Exchange Students

We had the pleasure of hosting 6 students from Holland at the beginning of July.

While most of the country huddled around heaters or under blankets, these merry (no reference to dementia) folk enjoyed the crystal clear waters of Highveld suburbia swimming pools. Water temperature a stunning (emphasis on shock) 10 degrees centigrade at midday. Needless to say they mistakenly saw us as Eskimos with our thick jerseys and jackets, also at midday.

Realizing they live in different time zones, like bedtime 01:00 and breakfast at 11:00.  We decided to test there survival capabilities and left one morning before the crack of dawn or sparrows for the Pilansberg. Surprisingly they adapted to the local time zone and everybody left on time.

The success of the project as seen from our perspective and student perception lay in keeping busy with varied places and events of interest involving all the members and families.

We look forward to our next group.
