July 2024 Trip

Second time lucky.!
Up at 5am and ready to go to the breakfast club. This is probably one of my favourite activities just seeing and knowing that all the children are being fed and can start their day with a full belly.
Had a chat with Musa to arrange for the children to sing happy birthday for Ryan and David as a surprise I didn't quite realise that it would have such an impact on them and also with the Volunteers.
They were presented with gifts by two of the children at the end You could just see Ryans heart melt.
Off to finish the sealing of paint at Xolani house.
We also gave him a few gifts from the ladies that came out in April that boys got such a smile on his face. His whole world has been turned upside down in such a good way.
New challenge. He cannot get his certificates for his degree until he has paid the remaining £1000 off for, his course that he took which means then that he cannot get a job without a certificates.
Need to make a plan.!
A quick visit to Lindani's mum. Always wish I could spend longer with her. She brings such joy to my heart. Take a little selfie so I can send it to Lindani who misses her.

Then off up to the children's home with a short stop off at the Build to give the builders their steak we bought them.
The volunteers do a loom band with the children in Ebeneezer nursery and I have a two hour meeting with Rachel and Nosilhe. Sharon also has a meeting with Khanyo

After a very, productive day it's to Sodwana Bay lodge for a birthday celebration for David and Ryan. They lost two cakes that have been made by the wonderful Mai.
One cake will probably be enough, but we fed the whole restaurant and the waitresses and the kitchen staff and the big Boss man who's always grumpy but I did detect a little smile in the corner of his mouth. Successful day all round......Leggi altro
