Really. It’s ours. We are keeping it.
These guys are awesome! When I first planned on studying in Cape Town, I anticipated having to stay with friends about ninety-minutes away and commute into the city every day while I looked for accommodation. The Rotary Club of Roggebai would have none of it! They met us at the airport en-masse, treated us to lunch, and then two local Rotarians put us up in their own home. Anne and I felt like VIP’s!
I don’t think I realized how much fun a “Civic Organization” could be! The average age of the Roggebai Club may be growing a bit long, but these guys know how to have fun. They come together to serve not out of a somber sense of duty, but because they genuinely like each other and want to make a difference in their community.
Perhaps most striking, however, is there sense of responsibility. This club is involved with more service projects than they have members! I am starting to get involved with some of these projects, but I thought I would attach a general list here.
