Day One

It was fantastic to finally get a proper sleep after about 43 hours of being awake. We had a relaxing morning preparing for Kids Club in the afternoon. This club was run by an elderly lady who has resently passed away … Youth For Christ is now looking after the program which is run in a Methodist church in the western suburbs of Bulawayo. All the children that come to the club are orphans and a majority has been infected with HIV. It was fantastic to see the kids being able to smile and have so much fun singing and playing soccer with a plastic bag ball after starting life in such an unfortunate way. Tonight we will be sampling some traditional foods such as Sudsa and Brier (don’t know how to spell … or even if this is the right word … means BBQ or something to that effect).
Until next time
Andrew & Jodi.
P.S. Sorry there are no photo’s today … we got caught up in the moment and forgot all about the camera
