Appreciation for South African Heritage
We were
pleased to be part of the Heritage Day activities at ACJ. It was a truly memorable experience
One of the
highlights was the teachers singing and dancing with the children-What a
talented staff! The volunteers had a chance to join in too which was great fun.
Part of the
day was also children acting out stories from their past. We appreciated that they took time to
translate the stories into English for us.
The stories were of their religious past and of their ancestors. Seeing
some of the traditional costumes worn by both staff and children added to the
whole experience.
Traditional
food was also a part of the celebrations and whilst the volunteers were not so
sure about some of the tastes experiences it seems that sheeps heart was among
the more favourable to the palette.
One of the
really noticeable aspects of Heritage day was that the children were so engaged. They listened to every story, joined in
enthusiastically with the singing and dancing and really seemed to appreciate
the importance of the day.
