South Africa Pilgrimage
Our Iziko (pronounced “ee-ZEE-ko”) leaders — Mzi, Nkosi, Pokie, and Steve — doled out t-shirts, water bottles, pens, notebooks, the wi-fi password, towels, a booklet containing the schedule, brief summaries about the sites of struggle we would be visiting, and poems and prayers we would be using in our group times.
