I met him for the first time in Dubai and then the second time was last year, when I was in the country for our annual Buckswood visit.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m looking forward to meeting him again this year,\u201d said 16-year-old Jaden Meyer. Mikito Tanaka (18), also concurred with his classmate and said he was fascinated by the prospects of meeting the last remaining absolute Monarch in Africa.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe experience of being here at the airport to welcome him from his working visit was surreal and unique for me, so I am very excited to see His Majesty up close because he is a very inspirational man.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s visit is the British Private School\u2019s 17th to the country as part of its volunteer programme.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe brought 30 students and staff from 12 different countries this year. We managed to raise E44 000 to travel and to experience this great kingdom,\u201d said the school\u2019s principal, Giles Sutton. \u201cWe have been visiting the country to help the needy and renovate schools around the Lubombo region.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have been preparing meals for school children, painting classrooms and making many friends.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mayer said he had a memorable experience last year and was happy to have contributed to greater good, which is why he saw it fit to come back again this year. \u201cI believe true learning happens face to face, which is by learning from and about each other, \u201che said.<\/p>\n<p>Tanaka also said he was happy to have been proven wrong about the country after watching many documentaries which painted the country in a bad light. \u201cThe people here are friendly, and the country is beautiful, it is just sad to see that there\u2019s a lot of poverty and hunger,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/eswatini\">Eswatini<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Eswatini.
