Arrival Saturday & Sunday

Yesterday we started our mission in Amsterdam.  The Boost Teams had two different flights: one flight went directly to Johannesburg, the other flight via Nairobi to Johannesburg.  A taxi took us to our guesthouse in Pretoria.  The last group members arrived at 2:00AM.

This morning we had breakfast at our neighbor, the Coffee House. We sat on a very nice terrace with a beautiful garden. The breakfast existed out of cornflakes, muesli, yoghurt, eggs, bacon and bread. Very nice start of the day, especially for our British team members ;-)

After our breakfast Marc introduced us to the program for the week to come. In the afternoon, we did a exciting session "in the field": interviewing South Africans to learn about their experiences with, and view on climate, water treatment, environment, safety and education. We’ve learned a lot about South Africa and its issues. One thing became clear: there is a lot of work to do on these topics.

Please do keep an eye on our blog. I’ll finish this story with some pictures.
