A Tribute to the Greatest Package Ever! August 26

Our two month celebration of landing in South Africa was highlighted by a package we received from Jason (Joe’s freshman year roommate) and his wife Katrina (of CTY fame). To understand the true value of the package you have to understand how important food had become in our lives. We had now been eating the same thing for about sixty consecutive days: corn flakes for breakfast, 3 peanut butter sandwiches and any oranges we could get our hands one (sometimes 3-4 each and sometimes none) for lunch, and umratha (the most bland tasting and heavy substance that can possibly be created from corn meal) for dinner. The lack of variety and flavor was starting to drive all of the trainees a little batty. We (trainees) could often be found sitting around talking about our dream meals. Then, miraculously, a package arrived with the world’s biggest homemade chocolate chip cake. We thought we were hallucinating, but that first bite sent us into a sensory orgasm. The cake was so good we still talked about it a month later. Katrina and Jason you ROCK! We welcome anyone to try to top their efforts =)
