Little did I know that my decision to work with Philisa Abafazi Bethu would lead me to serve alongside and learn from some of the most considerate and inspirational people that I have ever met. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work in so many different areas of the organisation, from tutoring the children in the after-school programme, to harvesting in the garden, writing marketing materials, painting murals, and much more. It is a remarkable feeling to walk into a new space and instantly feel welcomed and appreciated, and Lucinda and the whole PAB team invited us in with open arms. I had read about the organisation’s extensive programmes and efforts of activism in the community but did not fully understand the lengths to which they are willing to go to make every woman and child in the community feel that they are loved, they are valued, and they are protected. I could not be more thankful to have contributed in even the smallest capacity to PAB’s passion fueled endeavours towards empowerment, education, and equality during my time as a PAB intern in South Africa.
