As reported, there was a group of South African’s who visited Germany (July- Aug08), recently as part of the cultural exchange program 12 Germans visited South Africa (Dec08 – Jan09) for two weeks. In the first week they participated at the National Youth Camp and in the second week they experienced the cultural beauty and diversity of the “Rainbow Nation”.

Together with the South African Group (which visited Germany) they explored Soweto, Mamelodi, Pretoria and Soshanguve. They visited two HIV/Aids Projects (from the Aids Desk of the Baptist Convention of South Africa), the Apartheid Museum and saw beautiful African animals (Elephants, Zebras, Hippos…) in Pilanesberg.

In the evening they had discussion groups about the differences, opportunities and challenges of both countries and how God works in both of them. Furthermore, they participated in a Service at Mamelodi BC and experienced a “door to door” outreach as well.

It was a great time together and I am convinced that everyone was able to take home valuable experiences they will never forget. We want to thank everyone who helped to make this trip a success.
