So Katie actually hasn't left YFC South Africa, but she has left Cape Town...well more accurately, she left Kylemore! In May she decided to move to Knysna (5 hours from Cape Town) and serve with their Team there through the end of November. While living in Kylemore she volunteered at the Kindergarten and Creche there and also coached the girls soccer team. This was our first group of volunteers living in Kylemore and they were really welcomed in by the community. They all really enjoyed getting to know the kids, I think there were always kids at the house, so they got
to know them in a way they aren't really able to in Cape Town. I know Katie is greatly missed and Knysna is lucky to have her! She will be back to Cape Town occasionally - I know she'll be here for July 4th, so us Americans are going to have a big celebration!! I'll try to update with some pics!! Here's a pic of Katie with some of the kids in Kylemore and a pic of us (and Amber) at Kirstenbosch for the Plush (Emelio, our Operations Manager is in the band) concert!!
