Week 2

Monday through Thursday the students were hard at work at their various internships, engaged in many different activities throughout Cape Town.  Wednesday, May 25, was Africa Day, which celebrates the founding of the Organization of African Unity.  Dylan and Adam worked with staff members at Africa Unite to plan and carry out an Africa Day roundtable discussion on the role of women in Africa today.  Molly reported on the event for the Cape Argus and had her story published in the paper on Thursday!  And Sam and Laura attended as representatives of Black Sash.  Lots of good synergy there, and a great event!  On Wednesday evening, our entire group attended a celebration of Africa day and a performance of the Xhosa play "Amaza" as guests of Artscape where Joanne is interning.  And on Thursday evening several group members enjoyed a performance of "Jesus Christ, Superstar" at the Artscape theatre.  A busy and productive week!
