What is the most memorable episode that you have experienced with a World Unite! participant?
 
The past weekend we took a group of our volunteers up into the Amatole mountains to visit the most magical little town of Hogsback. I was walking through the forest with the 2 participants Jan K. and Jan Z., who proceeded to shake the banana in his hand at the "cute" but very big monkey not too far off because he wanted it to come closer. When the monkey started chasing him, Jan Z. had to run with his banana to the nearest buildings while Jan K. and I were left behind on the forest path to die of laughter.
