Report: South African Dinner

I would like to thank the South African Group for making the South-African Dinner so successful and tasty. What a great evening we had with our guests, dressed so nice for that evening. For this dinner we planned ahead and got prepared to give the taste of our South-African food from different cultures to our guests. Unity, love, respect and believing among each other made us accomplish the mission accordingly. Even though we didn’t have all the ingredients we wanted our Group Leader Llewellyn said only few words ‘’Lets Do our BEST with what we have’’.

Everyone had in mind what and how to cook and some of us we had own recipes but some didn’t as Yaseen said ‘’Cooking is not an instruction it’s Feeling’’. Communication and team spirit were very important keys in order for us to work together. We really enjoyed cooking, making salads and deserts.

Punctuality and being up to date are the most important aspects in Germany. Everything was perfect and we managed to finish on time as we planned to start the event at 19H00 and it only took us 15 minutes to prepare everything.
The style of life is a unity because it has grown out of the difficulties of early life and out of the striving for a goal.” (Alfred Adler). We achieved our goal and waited for everyone to come in.

Hmmm... the smell, the feeling, the rhythm that’s what made our guests not to wait for long. Immediately when everyone came into the building, you would hear them say ‘hmmm...’ even though they hadn’t started eating. The when everyone settled Llewellyn took place telling our guests about the food and ingredients we used.

Then it was time to dish up and while everyone was dishing up and tasting the food you could just tell on the face that the food was “köstlich”. As we come from different cultures that was also an opportunity for us to taste food from different cultures as well. We had different food like Bobotie, Banana Bread, Chakalaka, South-African Pap and many more and everything was “fantastisch”. I also enjoyed the company our guests and all of us were having conversations, jokes and sharing the happiness together.

As the time goes on Slindile presented a poem about Tubingen and praising it the way it is and she also presented another poem to the woman of Love, the woman of Joy, our Queen of Germany telling her she way that she’s amazing, the way she shared the Love with us and that’s Barbara Owen. As the beat gets going we have Two German Classes among the South-African group, German I and German II. German I performed a great dance on that evening and everyone enjoyed and then German II performed a drama about German Culture and funny moments that happened at the Mercedes-Benz Museum. Oh My God, that was really funny.

Last but not least we had a special friend Thomas saying only few special words to us.
Then we had a delighted special and thanks giving moment whereby all the participants received their rewards from their actions of their goals because every action has a reward and also giving gifts to Barbara and her staff and thanking for everything they did for us

Spending time in Germany was my dream of reality I never expected. I am going back to my country with Global Prospective and having a diligent experience with friends I have made.

To Barbara
