mad camp
T
he Annual Camp was hosted by Outward Bound at Hottentots Holland Nature Reserve. The main aim of the camp was personal growth and leadership development. During this time the teams were encouraged to work on communication skills to support the goals. The participants were also challenged to think about how to apply the learning’s in their daily lives. Enduring the tough life of camping and surviving without the normal comforts they were presented with a cell phone each, sponsored by Smartcom and a soccer shirt to get the spirits up for the world cup. Dikgetho, Mashudu, Zandi and Samkelo travelled there by air and slept over in a hotel, sponsored by MAD. Although the camp was not without the extra challenges it was a good experience. A letter written by one of the beneficiaries, Mashudu, is a good reflection of the camp. Zandi Mathabula selected by MAD, is in Grade 5. She wants to become a doctor and excels in tennis. She is also a talented performer on stage. By Madi van Staden
