Day 3 morning

An amazing day for many reasons! Monkeys in our garden, zebras on the side of the road.
We visited a children's home this morning, the welcome was wonderfull, warm hugs and smiling happy children. We sang and danced together and they taught us a song in zulu.
We had a talk about the history of the home and how it runs, it has been in operation since the 1950's and currently houses 27 children, all run by a lovely lady called Nosiklay.
Next a school just down the road run by Dorathea a truly incredible, inspirational lady. She teaches science and maths , trying to change the approach nationally. She works with universities, runs robotics classes, teachs programming, to all ages including A levels. Uses lego and duplo, 6 duplo bricks is a thing. Sadly funding is hard and she has not had a wage for 4 months!
We drove past a chess garden on the side of the road, with children all playing chess and being taught by a local doctor.
A packed lunch followed.Read more
