Interact.

I feel like this is my favorite day of our journey so far, because today, we actually got to work with students!! I forgot how delightful it is to teach, how lovely it is to laugh, and encourage, and instruct.

This afternoon, we ventured once again to Diepsloot to meet with the Grade 9 students at LEAP 4. The students had organized a talent show, and so the first two hours or so we spent just watching each of them perform. They sang, danced, performed, rapped, and even showcased art. Every single person from LEAP 4 in attendance today had to contribute something, and after each performance, a panel of four judges said "It's a yes," or "No, sorry."

I was impressed with the judges' honesty, and especially, with performers' bravery.

Afterwards, we were promised an hour to do activities. I led them in two quick activities: team juggling and birthday line-up. They worked hard to get them right, and we processed together what went well, and what could've gone better. When they got it wrong, we laughed at the mistakes. We all tried again, and then celebrated when they got it right.

I was so encouraged by their openness, and by how welcomed we felt to just jump in and be family. It was a good day.
