The SAREX trip from the view of a Dinoto learner:

The following article was written by Thato Monametsi (picture) during the SAREX project and was nominated best article on the school function on November 5.


"Being involved in the SAREX project has built me further in terms of character and well being, painting and assembling the plane was the best part, even though we had a few disagreements with the design. This was the biggest project and the most rewarding where I've ever been involved in. Working with a huge number of learners like myself was incredible, because we learned from one another. The trip was amazing from the start (that's after we got off the bus, it was one very long drive) to the end (before we got on , I didn't want to leave, I wasn't ready to!)
Sani Pass is a beautiful place, we were able to bond and feel like kids again! The bus ride was very long, but we entertained ourselves by playing music, dancing, cracking jokes, playing and getting tired. And after that we did it all over again. We fell in love with Drakensberg region from the moment we saw the landscape. The air was fresh, clear and addictive compared to the township we come from in Daveyton. The hills had the most distinctive features, which was really amazing.
The Sani-Pass Hotel was very welcoming and beautiful, we were treated like ministers. the room ,well god, the beds were nice and the food was INCREDIBLE. I've never eaten that much, and seeing Sandile, Banele and Crosby eating until they watched their plates was amusing. All in all the trip was amazing, if only they gave me a bigger page than I could have told you more about our beautiful journey!"
