I really enjoyed Cape Town as it is. My time here was 7 weeks, from that I spent one week in beautiful Wild Coast, what was also a great experience. I had a chance to work here in NGO specializing on children rights. I could see the reality and a lot of cases of abuse on my own eyes. Also talked to the children and their parents. Those things changed me. The job of NGOs is still big but they are doing their best they can. They are doing workshops for children, for parents, art therapies, camps, educational sessions, prepare children for court, etc. With August, they started a program for young women. I have met only good and friendly people here. I am sure I am coming back to SA.
