One more night to go ...

Cape Windjammers Offices, 9 August 2008, 4:15 pm

Today is our last team meeting before we depart. Its a bit overwhelming! We are excited even a bit nervous. Antje has done a great job in managing the project! We are also lucky to get more sponsors in New Balance, First Ascent, the Sports Science Institute and Laureus Sports Foundation, Diedericks Funds, Aquarius Embroidery and Chrysalis Academy who have put their hands together to equip us with stunning team wear! We have spent the morning going through the programme for the coming days - very packed.
I hope that all goes well that we gain as much from this programme, represent SA and are able to give back to community.... Thank you to all those who have contributed to this project! Team SA thanks you!

Today is Woman’s Day!
Yippie! This is so exciting!! Today was our last meeting and it is the final preparation for the big day tomorrow.
When I arrived it was like Christmas … today we received a cool rugsack each filled with goodies … scarf, beanies, tracksuit, shirts, waist coast, watch etc …! We were discussing the itenary for the travel, our responsibilities, plans for our trip and Shafi learnt how to use the XO laptop today.
I am soo excited! Plus!! Ruben from Chrysalis Academy who helped us to get our team wear, gave us a very good motivational speech and now I feel that we are really heroes, because he called us role models for SA youth! Claire
