Welcome back!
As I already told you I will have many meetings about South-Africa.
In the first meeting we introduced ourselves because not all the students knew each other.
We knew the plan; we would get a booklet including all the information we need and we were going to watch a movie.
We all got the booklet but this was not the only thing we got, we got a small travel bag for the most important stuff like your passport and wallet. This bag was made by the sewing studio we will visit and support in South-Africa. After we got this bag and the booklet we wanted to eat something because it was around 6 o'clock. Everybody made something to eat at home and took it to school. These were not just snacks like sausage rolls or wraps. Everybody made something which they also eat in South-Africa like milk cake and malvapudding. This was a new experience for most of us, to eat but also to make these dishes. We doubted whether we would like them but eventually most of us likes all the dishes. Only eating these dishes was a whole new experience already.
After we got something to eat we started the movie; Long walk to freedom.
The movie is about the main events in life of Nelson Mandela. The main themes in the film were his childhood, love life, principles, detention and presidency. Even though I knew a lot about Nelson Mandela I still learned a lot from this movie because it is about his whole life. To give an example; I did not know that Nelson Mandela was a lawyer. Some of the things I already knew also came in the movie, but this was no problem because now my knowledge is supported by images.
Talk to you later!
