I was able to meet and talk to people from different countries and learn more about them. It was really fun.” “It’s exciting although it was difficult communicating with some people because they speak a different language. But we have learnt and shared a lot.” “This was my first time to participate in Jota-Joti. Its interesting because we are able to talk to people from different countries.” “The one thing I learnt is that we are many Scouts in the world who speak different languages. I was able to learn a few things about different languages. We sang out to each other the different national anthems of our countries.” “I learnt how to chat with people in other countries using ScoutLink IRC webchat.” Images: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1423316201016047.1073741836.163797806967899&type=1&l=e2fbc2d1d2 Videos: https://www.facebook.com/ScoutingintheAfricaRegion/videos/1423326577681676/ Please share with us your own stories of how you spent the Jota-Joti weekend.
