There’s so much I want to say right now. There’s a lot to absorb and I’m feeling so oddly calm that I don’t actually think I’m processing much. I’ve met the other kids from the states and they’re great. It’s Nelson Mandela’s birthday today and they’re holding an African 11 vs. the World 11 soccer game in his honor.
