• Party time

    April 27, 2023 in South Africa ⋅ 🌬 30 °C

    The floor has been completed and we make our way down to complete the house with the curtains, beds, solar panel and the sign. Thank you Eileen for putting the curtains up. (Everyone needs an Eileen)
    I always have mixed feels when we complete a house. The family that we have built the house for have made new friends with the volunteers and has we all line up for that final photo you can see how proud the volunteers are and how humble the family are. We drive away with a few silent tears been shed and as I look in the rear view mirror the all the members of the family have a big smile on there faces.
    We return back to the Lodge with no time to spare in order to get ready for the party and the children coming. I drop the volunteers of and Nkosie starts the Braai and as I drive up to the children's home to pick the kids up.
    Dropping them of at the Lodge the kids look a little lost. But Muma Debs soon starts playing games with them and the music goes on then the rest of the children come. Nkosie and Eileen cook all the meat 🥩 so happy children and happy volunteers.
    Even Ruth and Papa Smurf get up and have bop.
    The hi light of the day was seeing the 5 boys that grew up in the 1st Children's home reunited. Such joy has they all sat together sharing their meat...lol
    The day ends with us having our last meal at Eat a local restaurant, shattered.
