Visit here, it's beautiful!
After the storms we all went to an old age home and helped them clean out the rooms. All the rooms on the 1st floor had flooded and were covered in mud. We spent all day working away and it still wasn't clean. There were a lot of people helping out though.
This week we had an english school presentation about HIV/Aids and it went really well. The kids enjoyed themselves and so did all of us. It wasn't hard to see that they had learned something important. "IF ITS WET AND IT COMES FROM A BODY...DON'T TOUCH IT!!!" That seems to be one of our biggest goals to get across to the kids when we do presentations. With the infection rate as high as it is here it is important for the next generation to be safe.
This weekend we are going to Drakensburg. It's a world heritage site. I am looking forward to it. There is so much to do here in the evenings and weekends. I wish I had more time to explore this country. I'll have to come back again sometime!
