As you know by now Nelson Mandela has passed away while we are here in Cape Town. The mood is both somber and joyful. Somber because he accomplished so much in his lifetime and has directly affected so many people, many of whom I've become close to while here in South Africa and those hearts are full with sorrow. Joyful, because of his memory, his legacy, and what he stands for even in his absence of this physical world.
The students are busy with a test and they have two exams tomorrow morning. We are supposed to have a review session this afternoon, but we have decided as a democratic group that we will have a shortened session and take part in a memorial that will be conducted in Cape Town. Our good friends Rev. Vernon Rose and Ben will be helping us with getting where we need to be.
more later....
