Thank you to Sloan Valve, another of our Legacy Sponsors
After the excitement of our cultural adventures on Wednesday, we all got back to work on Thursday, in preparation for the first two units to go out into the community for installation. Thursday was the big day fro Team South Africa and Team Australia. The yard was starting to feel a little bit empty by mid afternoon!
I spent the morning working on this blog, and the women from the Wot-if? Trust kept telling me we were going to have a surprise after lunch, Boy did we ever!
Here is Yeats, who came for a visit with Rita, who runs the Roots and Shoots program at the center, working with children after school. She also works with a Cheetah Education program, which is very cool. We all got a chance to come up and pet Yeats, who was lovely and well behaved and purred loudly. (I don't think it shows in these pictures, but Rita carries a small can of raw meat with her, which Yeats was very interested in!) Yeats also arrived in a very cool cheetah car.

The other treat of Thursday was that Doug, Randy and I went out to a Jazz Club called the Orbit with Nokwanda and Lucky, two of our great new friends. Lucky is involved with the Diepsloot Arts and Culture Network and Nokwanda works with the Wot-if? Trust. We had a chance to get out and see a great band and have great food.
It was another great day--everyone was excited about the installations and feeling very connected and happy.
