I just found out from John, a fellow counselor - whose school sends students to Cape Town, South Africa every spring - that his partner school, which sends students every fall, is Chapel Hill! John just came back a week before camp started and he said it was amazing, truly life-changing. I've been dying to go to South Africa for years, ever since my first year as a camp counselor in 2001 (quite a few Ton-A-Wandah counselors were from South Africa), and I think I'd be a good candidate to go represent Chapel Hill - I'd be a graduate student and a TA during the semester I'd go (fall 2007), which is what's required, and I already speak Dutch, which is very similar to Afrikaans. (Last year, when I was living in La Mancha, Renate and I could often understand each other when speaking our respective languages.) Anyway, so that's something exciting to try and figure out once I get there. It'll probably be the last time I'll get to travel internationally on somebody's else's dime, so I really hope it works out.
