Meeting the Olympafrica Volunteers

By Rachel Ivey:

Sawubona!

This week, I went to our committee’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) at the Olympafrica Sports Development Centre in Lobamba. The AGM is where the SOCGA Executive Board summarizes the last year and gives recommendations for the future. There were representatives from each of the National Sport Associations present. I was able to sit in the meeting and also took the minutes.

AGM Set-Up!

After the meeting we had a braai. The Olympafrica volunteers made chicken, sausages, pork, pap, and salads; everything was excellent. I met a lot of people at the AGM, but hanging out the volunteers was definitely the best part. They were so welcoming, they even invited me to go on a hike with them the next day.

The OAC Volunteers and I went for a 4-hour trek through the trails on Mdzimba Mountain. It was beautiful! Here are some pictures from the hike:

I can’t wait to see what else is in store for me.
