From March 23rd to 27th, Cora and I traveled to the American International School of Johannesburg for the 2012 Global Issues Service Summit. ISK sent a team of 14 students and 2 teachers and we experienced 3 full days of workshops, keynotes and activities. It was a fabulous experience and Cora met dozens of students from other schools in Africa. For our service day, Cora and I ended up on the same team and went to a local SPCA; there, we emptied a large container of pet food, swept out the container and then stacked everything neatly back inside (and then we were able to spend some time with the animals!). Johannesburg felt like a North American city, with very developed highways and shopping plazas; we didn't get to explore the city but we'll be back there in October for the AISA conference, so we'll be sure to see some sites then.
