Staring the day with team meeting and prayer, i was like a sponge absorbing as much information i could on orientation around the plot. My job after this is to try and write it all down so i dont forget.
Village of hope, has a lovely set up, in sided its razor wire fences and automatic gates which i am slowly but surely getting used to. I feel perfectly safe despite hearing about the riots in town, that enabled us to go and do sports with the children in squatter camps today. Instead of sports, after a morning of organising all the craft donations of which i was able to add to generously with the help of friends from work. Jess, grace and I made a short trip to the spar supermarket followed by lunch, a run and face painting with the kids which the boys- Travis and Lance had started nicely. With a snake hunt interrupting the face painting session we wondered down to where a group of German students are building a new house on the VOH land, out of staw and other natural resources.
sorry to hear about the riots in Grabouw ... what was all that about? and have things settled down now?
ReplyDeletedid you find the snake?! Good to hear you have been thrown well and truly in at the deep end hey!
Really enjoying your blog Kat , and especially your great spelling :-D
lots of love Chris
Thanks alot for the spelling comment =) im trying really hard, at least its phonetic or at least i think i am.
ReplyDeleteThe riots are over the community wanting a new high school as there are upwards of 50 kid in a class with 1 teacher. Mondays riots where just the day but there are ment to be more riots today. They are national over politics i think.
The snake is still on the run, which is a bit un nerving but i havent seen it yet and hope not too.
Glad to see you are reading and are able to as mum and dad seem to be having troubles, and nanna said Vick couldn't read it either but i trust you are filling her, Faith and Joel in.
Love Katia
