Study Abroad in Botswana Has Hit the Ground Dancing
Authored By:
We have arrived on day two of orientation sharing stories, sharing smiles! All of the students have settled in with their families and have adjusted to their new time zone. "Our travel here was so long we left summer and came into winter." -Kadin Graham upon arrival in Botswana. Even though the journey was long, the students were champions and are now traveling experts. On day one we started the morning with orientation, went to lunch, then returned to learn some traditional dance with a contemporary twist and some new moves to local house music that is enjoyed all over southern Africa. This afternoon, after a morning introduction to our upcoming curriculum and the local language, Setswana, we will explore and learn more about Gaborone by having an "Amazing Race." All in all, we have started this program in high spirits and hit the ground dancing!
