Day 4 - Cape Town

Today we visited all the internship sites - all amazing opportunities for immersion in the exciting and frustrating process of building a democracy based on principles of human rights in South Africa. Two students dove right into the work going on in their organizations: Austin is helping the Independent Electoral Commission with debriefings of IEC officials in several towns in the Western Cape, and Collette is shadowing reporters for the Cape Argus who are working on stories related to the township housing crisis. Everyone else starts bright and early tomorrow!
