My home away from home in Cape Town

While working at the orphanage, I’ll be splitting my time between Cape Town and Khayelitsha. I’ll spend three nights a week in the volunteer apartment on the orphanage grounds in Khayelitsha, then, after my 3-day shift is done, I'll spend the next three nights in the Aviva house in Cape Town. Then, repeat, repeat, repeat until my eight weeks are up.

It’s a good plan. I can spend time helping the kids, plus have ample breaks in between for myself. And the Aviva house is actually really comfy. I borrowed some pictures from the Aviva website to show you what the house looks like. At right is a photo of the house from the front; below are some shots from the inside.

We’re in the Observatory neighborhood, which I really like! More about that later though.
