foolfillment: the blog

Over the Easter holidays I had the enormous privilege of accompanying two Hawick 6th years to Cape Town. They have been part of the Global Ambition project this year and it has all been leading up to gaining a better understanding of that slippery term ‘diversity’ and finding ways to contribute to their community.

I’ll not write too much here as the students will be writing up their own report soon (before they go on study leave!) and I’ll link to that when it’s done.

Cape Town is an incredible city, I found the trip a really thought provoking experience, I hope the students got as much out of it as I did, they seem to have done. We took part in a lot of activities but the day and a half that we spent in the Red Cross Hospital will probably stay with me longest.

I can’t possibly write this post without mentioning the staff at the Shetland Isles who organised the whole trip – thanks guys!
