Perspective
“One thing that has really stood out to me about the Muizenberg Beach Club is how grateful members are for everything they receive. As a volunteer from America, I’m used to seeing spoiled brats who throw tantrums in the supermarket and whine about not having the latest iPhone. Though the MBC kids don’t have the luxuries afforded to many American children, they are very appreciative of the opportunities to hike, surf and play soccer that they are afforded through the program. This gratefulness makes the children a lot of fun to work with.”

“I want you guys to tell me something cool that has happened to you in the last few days. It is easier to remember the bad moments. If I tell you ten good things and one bad thing you are more likely to remember the bad thing because that’s how our brains work. You must make the effort to look back and remember the good moments.”
