Volunteers: Maddie, Gabby, and Chris

I was lucky enough to have three great volunteers here for five weeks - Maddie, Gabby, and Chris.  I first met Maddie when she came to South Africa a year ago with Windsor Mountain.  She was the only person I really remembered from that group because she assured me she would be back to work in Kurland.  Lots of people say that - but I had a feeling at the time that Maddie was serious.  Gabby was her adventurous friend who was willing to make the long trip with her and volunteer as well.  Chris made the EXTRA-long trip here, as he missed his connecting flight and got stuck in Johannesburg for a night!   Fortunately, he loved it so much here that he extended his trip to continue to help out Dollars for Change.  All three of them worked incredibly hard throughout their time here at the preschool and with Dollars for Change projects.  They shared some of their experiences in the video and pictures below.  We miss you all!!!
