Time is such a precious commodity – and leisure time even more so.  But I don’t ever regret the time I have spent “giving back” while on my travels to Africa.  Furthermore I always come away having gained more from the experience than I could have possibly contributed. 

On my last trip to Cape Town I spent a day with the volunteers of African Impact at a pre-school in Khayelitsha.  Despite the language barrier in such a short time I became an accepted part of the school community, singing, dancing and playing with the children and learning about the challenges the teacher had as they worked toward becoming an accredited school for this area. 

I encourage you to share your time and talents with Africa on your next adventure.
