Quick little update!
Sawabona !!
Hope everyone is well and had a good Easter!! We spent the Easter weekend with a lovely family at Hluhluwe Imfolozi game reserve and had the best time ever... spotting animals, bucket showers, sharing dinner with a Hyena, living in the bush!
This week back at Ethembeni has been really busy, the charity is running a holiday club for the children for the Easter holiday week. There are two holiday clubs being run, one in the township (mpophomeni) and the other in a slightly less fortunate township up the road called Quahhaza. We weren't told very much about the holiday clubs, only that about 17 children were expected to come and we had to provide lots of games and entertainment as well as peform a devotional/ bible study/sketch to give the flowing theme of Jesus' ressurection throughout the week.
Arriving ready and raring to go at 8:30am, we waited .. and waited .. and waited. The holiday club didn't start until about 10:30am! - Africa time haha! Between the two clubs, 350 children turned up!! So much for only 17 kids! Being slightly overwhelmed, we got on with it and all had great fun, playing netball..throwing wellie boots and various other games! The devotional went well and the children all enjoyed it.
Our project at Grace Chapel pre-school is going really well, we've sanded the walls down and painted most of the background colours! It looks so much better already- but we've still got quite a long way to go. - will try and put some pictures of our progress up soon! Our English lesson's are also comming along and have been a great success!
Lots and lots of love! xxxxx
