Go Au Pair: An Au Pair from South Africa shares a bit of her culture

When I watched this video I just smiled from ear to ear.  What a wonderful  person Sindy is. So exuberant about her culture and so excited to learn about ours.  The Collins in family in New Jersey is going to have a lot of fun with her!

Sindiswa is an au pair from South Africa.  She joined us at our GAP New York Workshop in July.  In this video she shares a bit about the traditional garments worn by women and talks about how girls are treated a very precious beings.

“South Africa is about Ubuntu”, she says which means unity.  ”A person is a person through others”
