RSIS South Africa July 2026: Final Reflections

“There were many tears shed tonight and throughout the day as our tight group begins to break apart and we all start travelling home. We hope to stay in contact so that we may see each other again in future travel around the globe, wherever we are thrown in our tumultuous journey of life. Long-lasting friendships have been made, and none of us will ever forget that great adventure which was RSIS South Africa 2026.”

“May we all be changed by this experience that we might be impactful servants to our communities around the globe in the future. Best wishes everyone.”

Rufta (USA) and Paddy (New Zealand) shared these reflections on behalf of Team Yellow in the final Team Blog from the Round Square International Service Project in South Africa.
