Hi Erin,

I enjoyed reading about your experience at the Apartheid Museum. It's appalling to realize that humans can be treated in such inhumane ways and yet it has happened many times throughout history and still continues to happen in our day and time.

Many people here do take voting rights for granted and many more do not even take advantage of their right to vote. I am thankful that you have exercised your voting privileges from the get-go.

I am so thankful for the amazing experiences you've had on this trip. I know you have learned a lot and have expanded your insights on so many important issues. I can't wait to hear more! See you soon!

Love, Mom
