The Last Day.

Our last day at Phedišang has arrived. We woke up to yet another delicious breakfast and the sound of crowing roosters. From 10AM-12PM, we did manual labour for the mission nuns by moving gravel with buckets and wheelbarrows (we completed 84 loads)! We then enjoyed a salad lunch under the bougainvillea with Tia’s incredible chocolate brownies. Then we left for our final visit to our centres. Most groups were surprised at how emotional and hard it was to leave the children. A few tears were shed.


Later in the afternoon, our Phedisang leaders arrived at the mission for our talent show and party. Everyone joined in on the dancing, singing and festivities. We enjoyed a delicious traditional South African Braai with boerewors and pap! Every group displayed some incredible talent from modern to African dancing.

We are sad to be leaving Phedisang and the amazing people that we have grown to love. We hope to stay in touch and we will treasure this experience forever.

Till next time,

Jade’Tot,’, Nicola ‘Nix,’ and Nel ‘Nelly’

“May all of our thoughts, words, and actions, serve to lift the hearts, lives and souls of ourselves and all other beings on this planet. From a place that I know to be divine within myself, I recognize and honour that place within each and every one of you. Namaste.”
