Leaving Cape Town

(follow up - added after we returned).

We spent the morning with some final meetings and discussions with Dennis. We did a quick skit for Dennis and his team for fun.

Bridges of Hope does a lot of job creation for the townships they work in by selling the bead and craft work in their store. We did some last minute shopping, packed the vans and headed to the airport. The drive to the airport leads through Cape Flats the large sprawling townships we had been working in the previous days. A sobering reality of poverty for hundreds of thousands of people.

We arrived back in Johannesburg in the evening and drove to Pretoria for another meeting. We could not get in touch with the people were were to meet with so we drove back to Johannesburg and checked into the GNCC (Good News Conference Center). A dormitory style residence where we would spend the next few nights. It was very central to the many places we would visit in the next few days.
