GRS PE Braai



Our coaches  who didn't sign on this January were supposed to have their contracts end in October.  Headquarters approved us keeping them on until December, but we still decided to have a "farewell" braai anyways.  We took Friday off of work (although Ngwenya, Jess, and I were running around all morning buying things) and everyone went to the ocean for a development session/braai.  There were games and candy prizes and everyone got 2 braai packs.  A braai pack involves a vors, a piece of pork on the bone, and a chicken thigh.  This stuff is super tasty and they put spices in the pack for you and everything. Yum yum yum.  This was a bit of a celebration though so people brought booze and blasted music from their cars and danced.  It was a good time.  Mzee showed me some of his work as a graphic designer and after I told him how good it was he offered to do something for me so I gave him a "portrait" like picture of me and he made me this cool little photo.
