“I left part of my heart in South Africa,” commented Mount Madonna School senior Quincy Mitchell. “And in return it has given me a piece of its soul that I shall carry with me forever.”
Mitchell’s comment came during the September 23 Sawubona Project presentation at Mount Madonna School. ‘Sawubona’, Zulu for ‘I See You’, is the name of a year-long project which culminated in a June journey to South Africa for Mount Madonna School’ senior class. The project was developed as part of the “Values in World Thought” social studies course, a two-year curriculum for Mount Madonna School 11th and 12th graders.
