Learning and Discovery

This was a core theme of our OAT group safari, and the phrase referred to experiences such as historical talks. Of course we also sarcastically used this term to cover experiences like fixing a toilet or drinking all of the camp's pinotage. 

Our most interesting L&D was in Zimbabwe, when our group leader informed us with a mischievous grin that we were going grocery shopping. He sent each of us in to the store with only the Shona name of the item we were to purchase! Mine was fairly easy, but some had to practice clicks and long words! I think the store employees were amused, and we all found our cooking oil, sugar, soap and other supplies that we would later deliver to a local village. 

Aka mealie meal!
