I thought it was a huge eye opener to see many of the townships one after another. They have told us about them and how they were pushed to
live there but it wasn’t the same to see it. You really do not realize how
lucky you are until you see the struggle of everyday life for many people. I
know that coming back home it made me realize that things might be bad but
never as bad as what they are experiencing everyday. Even when my mom is
stressing about some bill or just the daily struggles I remind her that we are
better off than a lot of people.
Their homes were a strange thing to see. I mean you hear
about it and see it on t.v but I never really thought it was real. I think in
my head I couldn’t imagine anyone able to live that way but they do and the
people who do live their are thankful for just having somewhere to come home
to. Every place needs a lot of help but everywhere we went people people were
trying to help themselves. For example, in one of the townships we went to they
had a shop where women and men were making and decorating many dishes and we
even got to meet the artist of sand paintings. Not only were we able to meet
these people but we got to see how they made their art work.
