An outstanding group of young adults who at all times showed
discipline, good conduct, professionalism and an outstanding sense of
TransOranje pride. Their disposition to face large coach trips between
Cities en route was noted and although they were tired, always showed a
willingness to have a ready smile, cheerful approach, and undertook
these large distances with little difficulty.
TransOranje is to be complimented on the preparation, dedication and
professionalism of each and every member of the Tour Group. The TCEF
Argentina Team's Review Board comment was that "this tour was
an absolute pleasure to be a part of, and we wish all tours were made
up of such a worthy representation of South Africa, the TransOranje
School for the Deaf of South Africa, and the diverse cultures which
make up the Rainbow Nation"
Our sincere thanks and compliments to all involved. TCEF's objective
of kindling the fires of friendship, understanding, peace and
education was noted at all times.
TCEF thanks the TransOranje's Headmaster, Mr. Allies Dill, for having
the faith that this tour would be the success that it turned out to
be. Argentina will never forget the cast of My African Dream.
On a personal note, many, many thanks to ALL at TransOranje for making
this tour the success that it turned out to be. This was a wonderful
example of projection and inter-cultural development, as well as an
opportunity for the TransOranje Students to have their first
international experience off the African continent. We would be proud
to arrange a tour with this excellent group of young professionals to
other countries should the opportunity arise in the future.
We wish the TransOranje School for the Deaf every success in the
future, with the hope that we will meet again on TCEF's
Internationals' visits to South Africa.
Thanks must be extended to Mrs Carien Marias for her support in
developing the relationship with TCEF following the initial
communication arising from the St Albans Barbershop Tour to Argentina
in 2004, where Elma Damman, Pianist of this tour Group, provided the
groundwork for the eventual tour. Without her support, belief in TCEF
and interest in the T.O. Tour through TCEF, we believe that she has
been instrumental in completing the international vision of
TransOranje through personal contact of students and Academics in
global cooperation.
And, last but not least, special compliments should be directed toward
all the Teachers and Staff for their support, dedication and
Management of the Tour Group. They are highly recommended as
extremely capable executives and dedicated professionals.
Congratulations on an exciting, successful, and never to be forgotten
Tour to Argentina 2005.
