Verse 10: More Hands

The two American volunteers arrived; they're the typical typical Americans. Guillaume and Myles are both college students in the USA; they're here to see the world cup and do a bit of volunteering work on the side. With some more hands to help out, by the end of the week there was really little we could do. For the first time at the project, we actually weren't so busy.

Although this week hasn't been the most productive in terms of accomplishment, it was eventful with our new additions. On the day Guillaume and Myles arrived, Robert took Anna and I to lunch with his wife and daughter at a wealthy sea-shore outside of Cape Town. It was a great honour to meet them and enjoy a piece of steak grilled to perfection. Yeeeeeeeeeyum.

In the afternoon after wrapped up a day's work, the boys and I played soccer with the kids - the one thing that all volunteers expected doesn't matter where he or she goes. At night, I sat down and played card games with the guys while Anna's off to sleep. We were doing what college kids do best - enjoying our companies while the night fades away. Cool.
