Dear Father,
My trip to America was very interesting. I experienced people with equal rights. Thats right us white Afrikaans and the Bantu have all the same rights in America and i dont understand why we cant all be like America. I admit that it was a little shaky at first but, I warmed up to them and they warmed up to me. Im glad you let me do the exchange.

Sincerely Mahree

Dear Father,

My experience going to the United States was magnificent. It was difficult for me to get used to my surroundings, because the U.S is very different from South Africa, but I came around. Did you know that the Delluym's are a black family? They are really marvelous and cool and they did so much to help me. The Delluym's have a daughter my age and we got along really well and did some fun things together. I learned so many things about South Africa in the U.S that I didn't know before like why things where banned in South Africa. They didn't have certain rules that we do back at home. America was a really fun experience and maybe one day out country can be like that.

Dear Father,

Going to the United States was fantastic. The citizens their are so nice and I've even made friends with the Dellum's daughter, but did you know that the Dellum's are a black family it was such a shocker but when I got to know them better they turned out really nice. I've also noticed that black people here does have have passes on were they are supposed to be, and the're are great books here about black African history that must be banned in South America at least I think i'll check when I get back home. Anyway that's all I miss you guys. Bye!

Dear Father,

In USA i had a great time with the dellums i learned that blacks should be free just like whites and i learned in south africa that we shouldnt be any different from the blacks because they are the same people as us , i feel that black people should be able to succeed and not be down .

Dear Farther,
Going to the united states was a different experience for me the Delluyms house hold is very different from what im used to there family dosen't have any mades they also didnt have rules about certain things they were free to read and do everything they didnt even have a whole bunch of names for us whites like we did for them im starting to think everything ive been told about them were lies

Dear Father,
What has happen so far in my experience in the United States has been confusing, and things have been very different the people have been different especially the way they treat blacks. They treat them as equals and there are people protesting to treat them as equals in South Africa too. My time with the Dellums has been wonderful and Mr. Dellums is actually a black congressman. There have been a lot of movies and books that i have never seen before and the people are wonderful.

# data[].attributes.body
Going to The United States was a very life-changing moment for me.The Dellums were very nice to me and they treated me differently than I thought they would. The first time I visited the Dellums I was very confused because I did not expect the congressman to be black. And I realized that they probably expected me to be black. One main thing Ive noticed was that there is no aprtheid in the USA and people are mostly nice to eachother.Maybe our country could be like that.

Dear Father,
In the United States I thought it was going to be different because all bantu's South Africa our country have to wear a pass to go places but here they just go anywhere, in the United States we were equal but in South Africa we are not equal and we have to ban movies,books and our flag. In South Africa we call blacks Bantu,Kaffirs,Afrikaans and more, I don't like calling them that or I dont like being separated from bantus.

Dear Father,
My time in da United States with the Delluyms which was a black family was very fun and a tiny bit stressful. There were very little problems such as when the embassy tried to take me home but other than that, people here are treated differently and, when I say different everyone was treated the same.

Dear Daddy,
My experience in America was different because they did'nt have maids.They did'nt have a law were you could'nt read certain books watch certain movies and etc.They didnt have to wear uniforms at their school.Black and whites could hangout with eachother without any promblems.They was'nt called blacks or aficans/afikans negro,catherine.

In the United States, Apartheid was a very big topic to the congress men and the government. Although blacks and whites are different colors, they feel that there should not be racist towards another color. Going to america was very life changing and i would try to do it again

Dear Father,

My time in America was fun. At first when I was here I was scared because the blacks and whites where equal.Every where I go there are blacks and whites doing every thing together.All the books that are banned in South Africa,are not banned here. Mr. Dellum was a black Congress men.Hey dad I think that we need to stop the Apartheid in South Africa.

Dear Father,
When i was in america i meet african american and i had too live with them.First it was kinda wired but they where very nice to me. In the united states its so much better then south africa.I thought it was going to be like south africa but i thought wrong.The united states as a life change experince. The black and whites where treated equally.

# data[].attributes.body
Dear Father,
The time that I spent with the Americans was really amazing. I learned that we have done something wrong. All Americans just want to be free. The Dellums were a good family and were trying to have freedom for all blacks in south American.

# data[].attributes.body
dear father,
it is good in the united states because blacks and whites are nice too each other and blacks and whites got money so its no racism why cant south Africa be like that so they can stop abusing blacks and beating on them like their slaves, sure that if blacks would abuse whites they wouldn't like it if we did them like that so why would they do it to us.

# data[].attributes.body
Dear Father,
When i was in america i meet new people the where African american. I thought it was really like south Africa because they don't have to have a past to do everything people washes cares for free,.I stayed with the blacks and they are the same as blacks in south Africa. I think that we should treat others the same in south Africa. Piper is my friend and her dad is the congressmen .i think blacks should be fairly treated.

# data[].attributes.body
Dear father,

Throughout my trip in america i have realized that whites and blackes are treated equally amongst each other and are respected on the same level. In addition to that, it changed my perspective on what were doing in south africa with aparthied and how it is wrong in multiple ways. We should treated blacks with respect and freedom so that we can change our country for the great or good.

Dear Father,
When I first visited America I met my friend Piper she was a nice friend to me even though we argued we got over it and I thought they said something about me because my father is a South African cop and my friend Piper dad was a  Congress man and I felt bad after Beco died from the cops beating him it could have been my dad and I got mad at Piper cause she was speaking true facts about what cops do and called my dad and other cops a pig I didn't like what she said about my dad but her dad cheer me up.

Dear, Dad
can i ask you a question what is apartheid many people have had signs and have been screaming and shouting about apartheid in south Africa but that's not the case i really miss you mom and my brother and always flora  and I've been at school and reading lots of books and all of the whites and blacks are treated the same other than what it is back home but we also watched bio-scopes but they call them movies but the movie we watched was nothing i have ever seen usually we are not are not allowed to watch those kind of bio-scopes but it was great and  can you believe that the people who work in office are blacks such as my friend  piper dad is black and he's a congress man  there  rules and things are way different from south Africa but i am having fun...see you when i get home.

Dear Farther,
In my time in America i thought everything was going to be the same as South Africa but when i saw how everything was equal,everybody had freedom ,and that everybody was getting treated the same in America that's when i notice whats going on in South Africa was wrong.

# data[].attributes.body
Dear Father,
It is great down hear at America. When I first came here, I thought everything was gonna be the same as South Africa, like Bantus needing a pass to state what their doing but no, its not the same, in fact it's not good. We shouldn't keep treating blacks like that. We should stop apartheid because it's wrong.

# data[].attributes.body
Dear father
When I first came to America I was scared. But as I got to know them it wasn’t them it’s us who’s wrong because down here everyone get treated equally.I thought that black would be equal to the black back home

Dear Father,
I am loving America so far, but I've realized we have done some very horrible things and it's time to stop. In America its's very different black and white people are allowed to shop together. The Apartheid can't go on like this it's wrong and you know it eventually the people and or citizens that doesn't like the Apartheid is going to grow bigger. Also, I went to a ice cream place and a black boy (BANTU) waste ice cream all over a white man and he didn't even hit him and that incident reminded me of the incident back into South Africa. The Africans deserve the freedom that they want. America is different because they get along, they can watch all the movies they want, but we have to watch certain because the Africans are black (BANTU) really... It's not fair us Afrikanns doesn't even get along we do none of that stuff. Dad we have to STOP!!!

Dear Father,
Thank you for letting me go to America. I learned many things about the country I live in and I learned many thing about the people in America to. The family I was with was very great and respectful. At first I was very uncomfortable and scared because I didn't know how they were going to treat me based on my skin color. When the people can over I thought that I was going to stay but I had to leave because of my safety because someone got beaten by the police. Overall this trip was very fun.Thank You.

From your daughter, Mahree

Dear father,
I have loved America so far, but with time being here I have realized that we the Afrikaans have done something very bad and it’s time to stop it. We can’t keep supporting apartheid, it’s wrong. Africans deserve as much freedom as we do. And here in America life is different, people are allowed to shop together and work together. Americans are kind to one another, unlike us the Afikanns back home in South Africa. Dad we have to stop!!!!!

# data[].attributes.body
Dear Father, My experience in America was fun I met a new friend who's name is Piper. When I first came down I wasn't to sure that I would stay long but then I got comfortable. While I have been down here I noticed that the way they treat people down here is different from how we treat people. In America they treat everyone equally no matter what skin color you are. In south Africa anyone who is not white gets treated like slave's.

# data[].attributes.body
Dear Father,
My time in America was great. I loved the family that I spent my time with. One thing i can say about this trip is that i met this girl named Piper and she made me more comfortable because it seemed different from home because blacks wasn't this up state and money. So I was kind of confused of what was going on. Such as black people was able to work without having a pass of there business. Another example is that blacks and whites was able to go to the same school. When I went I was kind of scared because it was my first going to school with blacks

Dear Father,
When I got off the plane I really didn't like America I did not talk to anyone. I was scared.When I first got to the delluyms house I ran up stairs and dropped my stuff.But then they tried send me home and I did not want to come home.I said I wanted to stay and I got comfortable I loved it here.

Dear Father                                                              When i first Step foot on America I thought Everything would be all the same,But to my Suprise i was wrong. The African Weren't like the ones in south Africa. They had freedom to see any movie Or read any book. At first, I thought The Criminal That were fighting for Black rights were Criminal But they are Fighting for the Right cause and Now My Entire thinking has been Changed

Dear Father,
It’s different down here because black people don’t need passes to do anything. There’s where Africans and whites are able to talk and be in places together instead of whites having separate rooms from Americans. I’m made my first black friend , we had our ups and down but we was like best friend.And I learned more thing about South Africa so when I get home I’m goin to teach so more stuff about South Africa .

Dear Father,
When I first went to America I thought that everything that happens in South Africa was going to be the same in America but everything is so different and at first I was pretty upset that I had a black host family but as time went by they actually started feeling like family and now I start love it here in America. Life here in America are very different then how life is in South Africa. Some differences are that the blacks which we call (Bantus) are able to go to school with whites.

I have too to tell you something, over here everyone

# data[].attributes.body
Dear father,
It's different here because African Americans are allowed to do so much more they could watch any movie go anywhere and read any book. I thought America would be like home but when i got here everything was different. I seen a person spill ice cream on a man and he didn't hit him. While I was here i realized we treat African Americans completely wrong and I think we should do something to change that.

My experience in America has been great . Things are different here , its nothing like South Africa . The school was amazing . The Afrikaans in South Africa did some bad things .

Dear Father,
My experience in the United States is better than i thought i with a black family that is not like how it is in South Africa the blacks and the whites work together. The Blacks or the bantus is not as bad as you make them. The whites don't beat the black people like at home. They americans get to watch anything they wanna watch. The blacks people don't have to wear a pass or a tag to go anywhere.

I am writing to you because I have learned many things over here in the United States. At the beginning I was not used ton the way of life over here, but soon I came around and now i understand. Their different, but good their government is not the same as ours. Also their language is a little weird but its O.K, they don't call black people "Bantu" over here. People of all different races work, live, and play together. The family I'm staying with is amazing and i made a new friend, Pipper. I wish our government could be like this.

My time In America has been great and I have experienced some great things , but America had some times when they doing damage to South Africa and me as an Afrikaan I feel like I had a better time in America because we have freedom. In America we can do anything and not have anything banned like cartoons , movies or even people.

Dear Father,
My time in American has been truly amazing. I’ve made new friends and the family is so nice and caring. I’ve learned many new things as well like, how their government works. Blacks, whites, Asians. Any race is welcomed and isn’t judges by the color of their skin. I hope that one day I will be able to come back and have even made fun. Whites and blacks can live in the same neighborhood and have the same things. I wish our government and country could be like this.

My experience in the United States has been so amazing! It’s very different from South Africa . For example, some things aren’t band here , you have to do things on ur own , and some things are called different. They also treat everyone the same here . Blacks and whites can go anywhere together . I have to say they have more freedom over here . I learned that everyone is the same , and it doesn’t matter about there color .

Dear Father, my time in America has been very interesting. In America the "Bantu" don't need a pass to do things, some of them live in nice communities, and some of them even are above our people. I also have made a friend, her name is Piper. Piper helped me to understand that whites and blacks are equal. Actually, the whole family made me respect all black people more in general. The Dellums were, unexpectedly, very kind to me despite my family and everything you've to the blacks. From my trip I've learned that all people are equal.

My experience in the United States was amazing. I made some new friends and they treat well. Down here in the United States we can do many things. We can go to school in regular clothes.
