Day 15

Our last day of the trip started off with a bit of breakfast, and a trip to the local street markets. The girls bought some wicked souvenirs, including some really nice paintings. We bought some lunch at a local supermarket, and ate on some rocks that looked out into the Indian Ocean - very beautiful and very relaxing. After lunch, we headed back to the hostel, and did some last-minute packing before Percy, our driver, arrived. We said goodbye to the people at our hostel, and headed to the Cape Town International Airport. At the airport, Sarah and Andrea were picked up by the people from the International Volunteer Headquarters - these two will be staying one more week in Cape Town to volunteer at an orphanage. And then there were 4. After eating a bit of food in the airport, we said our goodbyes to Ilze and Craig, and thanked them for everything they had done for us. We then waited in the airport until Karl, the program director of Soccer4Hope, arrived for a debriefing. We discussed what we enjoyed about our time with Soccer4Hope, and what will be the next steps for the organization. We hope to continue helping the All-Stars on a monthly basis, and do the best we can to make this organization more and more successful. We then said our goodbyes to Karl, and headed to our gate. We hopped on the plane, and that was the end of the trip for Kristen, Salina, Jo, and I.

This concludes our blog postings from our trip. We hope you enjoyed following our blog, and we would like to thank all of our supporters and donors! This trip became a reality because of you!

Stay tuned for a montage of our trip!

Yours truly,

Morena
