THANK YOU LORD

WE ARE AGAIN HERE IN SHONGWENI AND HERE ARE SEVERAL OF THE YOUNG GIRLS GIVING THANKS FOR OUR RETURN AND OUR SAFE STAY IN THE COMMUNITY. WE ARRIVED WITH SONGS FROM THE NEARLY 80 CHLDREN IN THE CRECHE AND THEN IT WAS OFF TO WORK.
BLOCK LAYING BEGAN ON A NEW STORAGE BUILDING WHILE SOME OF THE TEAM WENT UP THE HILL TO PAINT THE LAST HOUSE THAT WAS CONSTRUCTED BY DREW'S TEAM IN JULY.
THE SOCCER BOYS WILL BE THRILLED WITH THE OVER 200LBS OF UNIFORMS AND EQUIPMENT THAT WE WERE ABLE TO ADD TO OUR LUGGAGE. THEY WILL BE GATHERING ON THURSDAY TO DISTRIBUTE THE GOODIES.
CHARLES SCHOOL WILL RECEIVE US THIS WEEK AS WE RETURN TO COMPLETE A COUPLE OF CLASSROOMS THAT ARE IN NEED OF HELP. QUITE A FEW OF THE CHILDREN FROM OUR PROJECT ATTEND THE SCHOOL. WE MADE A STOP AT THE HOUSES ON OUR WAY OUT TONIGHT AND TALKED TO SKUMBUZO--HE IS NOW 8 YEARS OLD AND WE HAVE SEEN HIM GROW UP OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS.
BOTH SHARA AND JULIA WILL BE LEAVING NEXT YEAR, OUR MISSIONARIES AT THE CRECHE AND ALREADY WE HAVE 2 NEW LADIES THAT WILL TAKE THEIR PLACE--GINGER AND ZEAL, SO THE TEACHERS AT THE CRECHE HAVE SOME EXCELLENT ASSISTANCE WITH THE CHILDREN.
