Our SUP Charity Event „Stand Up for Ubomi“ Was a Fantastic Community Experience. Tide, weather, material, mood: everything was just right when 56 people took up their paddles on September 14, 2019, to set off from Neuharlingersiel to Wangerooge.

A Meaningful Word and an Exclamation Mark behind Ubom.i For more than two years now, we have been in the Townships of Cape Town with our project – and one Xhosa word has meanwhile become part of the everyday language of all of us: “gorgo”.

„For the First Time in My Life…“ - This was also the motto of our trip to Signal Hill and the beach of Camps Bay a few weeks ago.

Every Sunday our Ubomi leaders meet at Khosi and Thomas place in Khayelitsha. Over a cup of tea, Ubomi topics and personal concerns are discussed and we also chat about all kinds of things.

An intensive, special and very rich time in Khayelitsha lies behind us. In the blog post “The Umlungus in the Township” we described our first impressions.

Molo, ungani? – Hello, how are you? – are the Xhosa words we learned first and use very often here. All our neighbours - and there are many! – are very nice and curious about the "Umlungus", the white people in the Township.
