... khosi. Then it was snack time and everyone had fruit - just like home! They then split into age groups and spent time doing jigsaws and word puzzles. All the children had folders showing some of the work they had done and how their spelling and writing skills were improving. Health promotion was a big focus - healthy eating and toothbrushing. Many of the children were HIV+ and their medical care was a high priority.
The children were cheerful and happy and we ...

... experience, but I'll do my best to crunch in down to size here. The ride over was a stomach churning one, as with the overdoing it I've been up to I didn't need the swells to already feel green, but no I kept t all together. Its on 45 mins across, and when you check there an old bus picks you up with a guide onboard for your tour around. We got very lucky as our was the best African representative, comedian, storyteller, scholar ex ANC member, and ...

... is specifically South African (they speak Africaans with English sub-titles). Saturday morning I met my host parents, Tony and Jenny. Both are quite nice people and are very friendly. They have two kids, Roxanne and Antonio. Roxanne is married and no longer lives at home, while Antonio is 18 and works. I ended up spending the day going around the area with them. In the morning, Tony walked me around Goodwood so that I ...

... in Mozambique we will be going, but we may be setting up clinics in such places as beneath a tree:) We hope to stay in one location and work consistently with a community. So just pray that we figure these things out soon. Our school leader Jennifer is finally back from Zimbabwe and we can now being to make final decisions on some things... I hope that you are all doing well. So many of you continue to stay in my daily prayers, and please remember me in yours:) In Christ, Kate

... called Alpha and Omega. We began to sing this song and I just sat quiet. Sitting next to these beautiful browned-skinned girls and boys singing this song, my whole body was goosebumps. I have never seen such a purity in worship. All of then sat, hands folded, eyes clapped shut and singing from the deepest part of their little voices. You are Alpha and Omega, we worship you alone, you are worthy to be praised We give you HONOR and GLORY, we worship you ...

... and I have found myself peering in the mirror for the past two mornings, wondering who this strange creature with braids hugging her head in neat stripes actually is. I can hear gasps of horror as you read this, please do not be alarmed, it looks perfectly fine and I will have them taken out before I come home. Anyway back to the tea. I left Emma at the Cat & Moose and wandered down Long Street in the rain. I popped into the Pan African Market, a strange warren of ...

... into a full day trek across Cape Town. At lunctime I texted Chris to see if the boys wanted to met up with us later. They were looking at the aquarium (been there, done that) and said that 4:00 would be cool. We decided then that we had enough tiem to try and locate the cablecar to go up Table Mountain quickly and still be back at the Waterfront by 4:00. We walked almost to the base of Table Mountain, a long way across the city, and could see the cable car station that we were ...

... across the way. Then we headed to nearby Cape Point and walked around a bit. Most tourists head up to the lighthouse for a nice view of the ocean but a group of us decided to trek down to the beach (and it is a trek descending from the top of the cliff all the way down to sea level). Once we got there, we just sat on some rocks and enjoyed the crashing waves. They were some ...

... have dreams and plans, whereas during Apartheid all the doors were really closed to them. During my 2 Nomads tours, both times the drivers where black Zimbabweans (more concerned about the present state of their country than post-Apartheid South Africa) and the cooks were white South Africans, Africaans and English respectively. The Africaans cook explained how when he was growing up he was taught that Blacks were servants and not to be socialized with. He even said he had hated them ...

Hello Everyone, The mountain pass from Montegu to Franschhoek was full of beautiful scenery. The mountains suddenly open up and give you a spectacular view of Franschhoek and the valley below. This is such a cute town. There is one main street lined with all the shops and restuarants ...
