Goodbye Arjan!!

So Arjan lived at the Kylemore house, so I didn't get to know him very well, but I know he is sorely missed in that community! He assimilated very quickly to the culture there and was involved on several levels. He taught lifeskills at the High School with one of our other vols, Rita. He led a nature club with some of the youth and he was a member of the soccer team in Kylemore - they called him Long Man because he's so tall! He has such an easy-going, fun-loving way about him that made him very approachable. It also helps that he is from Holland and since Dutch and Afrikaans (the "mother-tongue" of most of the colored community in South Africa) are quite similar, he could understand and communicate with them more easily. Here is a pic of him with Meno, one of our team members from last year who has come back to YFC to lead the Kylemore house. (Arjan is the white guy! =:) )
