This was my first experience with homestay so I was apprehensive to stay with a family whom I did not know at all, half way across the world. However, I am so pleased that I did. Shafeekah and her family went out of their way to accommodate for me and make me feel comfortable. After just 12 days, I left feeling like a member of the family. I am very grateful to this family for helping me in every way possible to make my stay a memorable one; they even went sightseeing with me! If I ever get the chance to return to SA, I would do it all again. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
