I think what I will remember the most is the last day I had at the school I was working at because I bought lunch for the kids and it was very fulfilling to see something I did make them so happy. I also felt like that the connection between me and the kids was at it's peak on that day and I just had a lot of fun with the kids that day in general.

My most memorable experience at the Teach, Surf and Skate program was working with the teachers and schools, getting to know all the kids and doing crafts with them and seeing them enjoy those activities that we plan.

The most memorable part of my volunteer experience in Cape Town was definitely in the teaching, surf and skate project, when I was able to teach a young girl who had never been in the water before, how to swim.
