Over the course of six months, I’ve met some incredible friends who I will miss very much. I’ve attached pictures of just a few of our adventures around Cape Town!! Luckily, the world is small, I know we will cross paths again and will definitely stay in touch:

• Bobby. Originally from Atlanta, who left his consulting job to volunteer for a year, with aspirations to start his own NGO (very talented and super fun guy

• Byron. Princeton Grad, working as a fellow for two years in the legal and external affairs group, with aspirations to return to the US and pursue his law degree (hysterical and always life of the party)

• Julia. Columbia Grad, and originally from Santa Barbara, working here for two years as an assistant to the Co-Founder. She has lived in Africa for about three years now, previously working in hospitals in rural Sierra Leone and Senegal.

• Tamsin. Originally from Australia, recently left m2m to go to attend Oxford on a full scholarship, she is so impressive! I became very close friends with her and her fiancé Markus and plan to visit them in Oxford or host them in New York soon. They are getting married next April in Cape Town!

• Other close friends were Princeton Fellows: Wenli (who now lives in NYC and getting her law degree at Columbia), Morgan (now getting her PhD and Masters in Public Health in North Carolina) and Hannah and Allie (both still at m2m). Franklin and Phil from Grassroots Soccer, an organization that teaches AIDS/HIV awareness through soccer programs in townships; South African’s Kitsi, Fumani, Linda, Andrew and Janine; and two close friends Felipe and Luciano, originally from Brazil, who I enjoyed hiking and exploring Cape Town nightlife with.
