This was an awesome experience and I loved this week. It was really neat in the way that the home was actually a home for these kids. It did not feel like an orphange and you could tell that they all loved living there. There were 11 boys and 4 girls that live in the home with 3 Sisses (age 25-35) and one Mama. The Sisses and the Mama take care of the kids and they really are a family. It was also different that the kids were well behaved, yes hey could be naughty but they weren't like the troubled kids you often find in our foster system in America. These kids behaved like any other would in a family structure. I could really tell that they each now have a future and a hopeful future because of the children's home. They don't like pictures to be posted of the kids online so I won't post any but if I have any of the home I will post them on my facebook when I get a chance. What I did while I was there was helped paint three rooms and then helped run activities for them after school. I really enjoyed the experience and hope I can go back again before I leave.
I wanted to let you all know that I will out of internet reach for awhile. I leave on Sunday to go camping with Pieter, Shannan and Caleb till Wednesday and then I leave for Eastern Cape till the 29th. So until then you probably won't hear from me but if I can I will post.
