Papillon was invited to attend a non-profit skills training event in Paarl.
What they didn't tell me was that I was invited to open the show in Paarl.
So, we decided to leave a day before the scheduled event, and I showed you our travel in a post yesterday.
This event was a wonderful occasion, and we are glad that we attended, as it is always a good thing to see that communities are empowered with the proper skills training to drive their organizations to better things. Unfortunately, I cannot post any photos of the event as I forgot to ask permission to publish the photos.
It was wise to do the major traveling the day before, as here below we were on our way to the event, and we covered the distance to the event in 30 minutes.
A church hall was rented for the presentation to the leaders of non-profits in the area.
Some views of the roads on our way back home. We took a different road on the way back, that passed on the outskirts of Franschhoek, where we had some coffee at a cafe, and then we tackled the long road. I will show you below some beautiful views that we saw.
Beautiful trees as we entered the town called Franschhoek.
And then this section of roads runs through a settlement called Pniel.
And finally, we came into the home stretch.
A wonderful occasion, and the non-profit leaders were very happy, not only about them being taught new IT systems that will help their causes, but also for the fact that they will receive regular mentoring. Another bonus is that they will receive the licenses for all of the apps at huge discounts. The best way to help a person, is to teach them how to help themselves.
We love to travel and to explore other areas of the Western Cape province. Occasions like this when we can combine our travelling with some good work, makes things so much better. Note that we did not get paid anything, and the great thing is that none of the attendees at the presentation had to pay as it was all arranged for free. It was certainly a lovely outing and we are glad that everything worked out well.
Such is life sometimes.
I hope you have enjoyed the pictures and the story.
