OPERATION HOPE TRAINING

After my weekend in Polokwane, Tshidi, my colleague at Operation HOPE, picked me up for a training at an NGO outside of Tzaneen, a most beautiful mountainous area.  We stayed at a lodge which had many, many rooms and only a few people staying there.  Lots of lodges, I think likely overbuilt for that area since there isn't much game to be viewed. The training was fun and I did one of the modules on entrepreneurship and covered SWOT analysis, among other things.  They were eager to learn and appreciated the increased awareness and knowledge they got from the session.  After the group photo, one young woman wanted her picture taken with me, which started the "me, too" barrage of photos which made me feel like a bit of a celebrity!
