Guten Tag... Mir geht´s gut. (I am fine) My host sister is trying to teach me some German. :DD Very funny!! The german beginning was her idea as well. 😁 I love my host family very much. Thank you to everybody who helped set it up so perfectly. Germany is such a beautiful place!! And so green!!!! The busses are very exciting. Thankfully my host sister always knows where we are, otherwise I would get lost.😀 But still, Germany is wonderful... Joané & Rieke

Host family
hi...! i am fine with my family and i am having a great time here in germany. I also made a lot of friends! bye and thank you for the email:)😀
The happy world of Haribo´s!
Hallo! Since I arrived I have been exposed to many different things, including sitting in German classrooms, going with the bus to school, making great new friends, riding on trains and many other things that would fill this page.. I had a different perception of what germans would be like, and to my surprise they are just like us, except maybe everything is done a little bit better. They are very relaxed, and AWESOME! I am picking up a few german words and am very proud of myself :D This is truly a great experience and I wish I could stay here longer. My German family and friends are great!
Welcome to Germany!
Last Monday we welcomed 120 pupils from South Africa who will be staying with German host families for the next four weeks. We wish all of them a wonderful time with their host families, many new friends and a lot of interesting and amazing experience in Germany.
Many greetings Petra Jacobi

Dear Petra. Thank you so much for the email reassuring us about everything and that we will be safe and get on the right trains. I am so excited by now counting of the days until we fly :). Really looking forward experiencing you country and cultures. My host family sounds great and can´t wait to meet them.:)
looking forward
Dear Petra
Thank you so much for the reassuring email. It really made me feel more relaxed. I wasn´t that stressed, because I know everything in Germany is very organised and safe, but still a little nervous because it is completely new to me. So thank you that we can trust you to make sure we are fine :)
I am indeed super excited to come and experience your country with it´s people and culture! Yes I am in regular contact with my host family and I really enjoy this! Now I really want to meet them! I will definiteley remember those vital things aswell! I can´t wait to see and experience so many new things and I am sure this is something I will never forget! Thank you for making this possible.
I am really looking forward to meeting you in a few days!
Till then, goodbye!
Many greetings

Words can´t explain how grateful and excited I´m to have this opportunity to go to Germany and to experience the amazing sites and culture that germans have 😁 I especially can´t wait to mingle and to try new types of food 😉
For all the South African pupils who are flying on Sunday I hope you all have a save flight and a great time in Geramny :)
Ps: If you´re flying from Jhb and want some company or what not add me on fb .. Lienkie Shalene Connoway

😉 am soooo excited! But am so scared,what if I get lost @ the train station..?
Excited South African counting down the days..only 9 now!
I´m beyond excited and I just can´t hide it! Excited is an understatement. I am sure that this one month with my new German family will be a once in a lifetime experience and one that I will never forget. The fact that they are taking part in the FSA program, shows me that they are people who will make my visit one that I will never forget. I can´t wait to go to a German school, explore every part of Germany that I´m given the chance to and get to be a German for a short while. (and maybe pick up a bit of an accent). Thanks to every host family for making this possible for us. We do appreciate it from the bottom of our hearts! p.s. I have been placed with the perfect family for me! 😀
Hi Petra 😀 😀
I don´t know if you remember me, but i did the program in 2008, it was the best time of my life. Thank you so much for the opportunity. I do appreciate it, I made memories and gained family that would last me a lifetime ..
Keep well! Hugs & Kisses from South Africa
naja, ein teil von der ersten gruppe hat ihre gastfamilie schon und der rest soll anfang nächster woche so weit sein... 😀
Austausch
Hallo! Weiß jemand wann wir die gastfamilien für die 4 Wochen bekommen???😀
FSA - ein voller Erfolg!
Liebe Petra,
es ist jetzt schon über ein Jahr her, dass wir zu FSA Kontakt aufnahmen,
um unseren Sohn Vincent für 3 Monate nach Südafrika zu schicken. Es ist
seit dem sooo viel Schönes passiert, dass ich es einfach mal erzählen
möchte:
Noch bevor Vincent wusste, wohin und in welche Familie er kommen würde,
haben wir uns spontan entschlossen, auch einen
Jugendlichen aus SA für 6 Wochen über Weihnachten bei uns einzuladen.
Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit mit Hanno, er war ein richtiger Glücksgriff
für uns. Als er erfuhr, dass Vincent im darauf folgenden Frühjahr
mit FSA für 3 Monate nach Südafrika gehen wollte, skypte er sofort seine
Eltern an und fragte sie, ob sie nicht Vincent aufnehmen wollten.
Genauso spontan sagten sie zu! Für uns Eltern und Vincent war das
natürlich super, denn so wussten wir bereits, dass er in eine
absolut tolle Familie kommen würde. Nachdem Hanno uns verlassen hatte,
hielten wir regen Kontakt mit ihm und seiner Familie
und als es endlich so weit war, hatte Vincent eine phantastische Zeit
dort. Selbst als Vincent dort einen Verkehrsunfall hatte und verletzt
war, haben wir uns nicht allzu große Sorgen gemacht, denn wir wussten,
er war in guten liebevollen Händen und wurde ärztlich gut versorgt.
Kurz nachdem Vincent wieder nach Deutschland zurückgekehrt war, erfuhren
wir, dass der älteste Bruder von Hanno, Leon,
ein Stipendium für Berlin erhalten hatte, um dort an seiner Doktorarbeit
für Politikwissenschaften zu arbeiten. Am 1. Dezember 2011
traf Leon in Deutschland ein und natürlich luden wir ihn Weihnachten für
zwei Wochen bei uns ein. Auch zu Vincents 18. Geburtstag im Februar war
Leon wieder bei uns. Er gehört jetzt zu unserer Familie. Dieses
Wochenende ist Vincent zu ihm nach Berlin gefahren.
Aber die Krönung kommt nun: Gestern habe ich für den Herbst für unsere
ganze Familie Flüge nach Kapstadt gebucht und Leon will
es so einrichten, dass auch er in dieser Zeit seine Familie in
Brackenfell besuchen wird, die wir dann endlich auch persönlich
kennenlernen werden. IST DAS NICHT TOLL?
Es ist wirklich eine deutsch-südafrikanische Freundschaft entstanden!
DANKE an FSA und das tolle Team!
