To everybody that I got to know over the past two months, I wish you all the best with your future endeavours. I can see your ambition and I know you will be successful because I know a lot of you are continuously striving to reach your goals. I wish you and all your families well. It is obvious that I am going to miss everyone, but more than that, I am going home with a new love and passion for life. South Africa, and everyone I have met here, has introduced to me a new understanding of our world in so many ways which have helped me grow as a person, and I am so thankful for that. I want to specifically mention a couple of people whom I have gotten close to and I would like to share their stories. Jerry, one of our maintenance men here, is an entrepreneur trying to build a business for himself so that his company can grow and give jobs to and support those who are out of work here in South Africa. He is very artistic and sees the good in everything. He comes to work with a smile and it grows throughout the day. He is able to find a creative way to reuse anything he sees, from old wood branches to seeds he finds on the ground. If you would like to support his business you can send him a message on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mogotsi.masia?fref=ts or send one to me. I am also hoping to get a website set up for him soon. He completely customizes coffee mugs to meet your wants. He puts time and effort into making it exactly the way you want buy consulting with you at every step. He only needs to sell 40 more mugs and he will be able to buy a machine as a new instalment to his growing company. And Sifiso is a father with big dreams. He was excited the yesterday, when I saw him last, because he was on his way home to see his two young boys he hasn't seen since last month. His job here at Zulu Nyala was a great opportunity for him which he used to get his jobless brother work also. He is also a great artist who drew us a picture before he left for his time off. (Thank you!) There are so many others here who's stories can make you cry, laugh until you cry, or captivate you in ways which will change your life. I am so grateful for having had the opportunity to come here and spend my time learning about this area of the world.
