Day 6 - September 15

Jeffery’s Bay.
Much fun during our visits for the day. We had a delightful drive with a local historian/anthropologist to visit the outlying areas of Jeffery Bay. We were driven to Hanky, the resting place of Sarah Bartmann, a local tribes woman that was exploited in England for her highly unique physical features and also the home of a major Rotary project for a home for abused and neglected children. The Jeffey’s Bay club and Rotary Anns have contributed funds and paint to make the home more friendly. Their local Interact clubs came and painted murals on the walls. One thing that we have noticed is the Rotary Clubs are much more hands on in their projects, contributing not only funds but labor as well. They adopt a project and put their heart and soul into it. A good reason for American Clubs to consider funding their projects – our money will be well spent with Rotarian oversight.
Later in the evening we gathered at one of the Club member’s home for a fish braai. Everyone brings part of the meals, plus their own drinks, which make the evenings much more hospitable for the hosts. No wonder they have a lot of gatherings, everyone chips in. The evening was completed with a rousing Happy Birthday to Bill.
