Things are going a great in South Africa!
The team members have been working incredibly hard!
We have been here a little over one week, and already the team has accomplished so much!
The team already knew a few dances; Stand in the Rain, Been so Good, and Beauty from Pain.
Jasmine worked very hard with the youth on understanding the heart of those dances, and the specific meaning behind each movement.
Meanwhile, Rachel worked with all the boys and a few girls on creating a Breakdance Act.
The team has also been trained in new songs; Reach Out, Beautiful Ending, Hero, and Save Yourself.
Two girls have learned the guitar parts for each and every song, even the acoustic version of Wait For Me!
We have been doing extra sessions with the older girls, teaching the dance A Rose is Still a Rose.
They are almost ready to perform!
Uncle Richard is a consistent and wonderful support and for us. He is loved by all the kids, and has been working diligently trying to get financial support from the government for the team here in South Africa.
Uncle Richard is very good at what he does.
So far, we have performed at two schools here in Cape Town. During these performances the kids have been able to perform three new things that they have learned! We barely had to do anything during the performances, because they were so self-sufficient!
The weather is beautiful! We even had the chance to train dance on the beach!
After we completed the dance, our hard work was rewarded with a dip in the perfectly warm ocean!!
It is hard to believe it is almost Christmas, without the sub-zero weather and multiple feet of snow from back home.
Thank you so much for everything donated! We remind ourselves everyday that we are your hands and feet for the good work that we all want to see done in this world. Without you, this trip wouldn't be possible
A Million thanks,
Jasmine and Rachel
