A while back, we received a letter from one our clients – refugee from Zimbabwe who is extremely friendly and personable. Reading this makes all the work worthwhile.
“I couldn’t help stop tears streaming my cheeks. I am touched by the way you treat people (refugees) here. First I eavesdropped the white lady explaining one or two instructions to one refugee and later on I felt at home for the first time since my 2 years in RSA. I felt like not leaving this centre.
You Like people, you like your jobs. Once again, thank you. Keep the good work. Refugees are people they need you.”

LHR Boat Cruise
As a thank you gift to the interns, the entire staff was treated to a boast cruise that included a three-course meal. We worked until 10:30am, then – in an attempt to reach the wharf in time – sneaked across the railroad tracks toward the wharf (I’m sure this was not legal, but it was awesome seeing the attorney’s “breaking the law”). We had the entire boat to ourselves. It was fun and relaxing and refreshing to see the staff outside the context of the work environment. The weather was also beautiful: breezy and warm, the sun gleaning off the surface of the water. This was a great end to an amazing summer.
Enjoying the 3-course meal (I had mango chicken salad, curry rice, and some kind of chocolate dessert). Yum.
