Most fantastic new experience for our volunteers today. A long walk to discover the most beautiful landscape of the Zululand hills at Somopho Hills at a nearby community land.
It included a delicious lunch and the volunteers came back so enthusiastic with their new adventure !
Thank you to Lungani Mthembu for this great opportunity and Victor Ngwenya.
