Month 10: “funny” day
My school counterpart is the most creative South African I’ve met during my time here. To fundraise for our Books for Africa project, she decided to start “funny day” at our school. She described “funny day” as a day where learners pay 1 Rand to dress up “funny” — meaning cross-dressing, dressing up as adults, wearing clothes too big for them, wigs, etc.
I thought the beauty pageant we hosted for fundraising last month was ridiculously hilarious, but then this day happened. Enjoy the photos — I hope you laugh as much as I did!
