This is Baba Phillip! He is one of the drivers here at African Enterprise. He has a huge heart for the students here, a foot tapping appreciation for country music and an absolute love of McDonald's. Baba means "Father" in Zulu, which suits Baba Philip because he has a playful teasing side, much like a father. He is often teasing students and joking around that he is lost while driving, which is the farthest from the truth because he knows South Africa like the back of his hand. Baba is also a man of God who humbly bows his head before every meal and sings proud in church every Sunday. He is exceptionally patient and calm when he assists me as I struggle to master the clicks of the Zulu language. thanks to his help I can hold a polite introduction conversation of "Hello, how are you? I am doing well, and you?" This is just one of many incredible people on this campus.
All my love,
Gennavieve
