Kayamandi Township. There is a a lot history to this township that surrounds the high school and elementary school where many of us are teaching. It is the poorest area in Stellenbosch but they are not poor on friendship or love. While walking through the township we were bombarded by students just wanting to give us hugs. And when they found out we had things to pass out they were swarming us. One little girl in particular came running down the street and gave me the biggest hug I have ever gotten. It was an absolutely amazing day. I for sure won the kids over with candy and soccer rings throughout the whole walk. Thus far I would say it has been the most humbling experience I have ever taken part in.

The brick building is one of the oldest buildings in the area and is now a beer brewing house.
This is what the majority of the houses look like in this area.
