Another Quick Update

Hello from Swazi!
We’ve had a great, productive week. On Monday part of the group went to a primary school about an hour away from Nsoko. It was a great experience and the kids there are incredible and so smart. They have to speak English in class and in 3rd grade, they start learning French. Crazy, huh? TWe got to help out in some of the classrooms and just play with the kids and observe the teaching. It was such a cool experience.
The rest of the team stayed in Nsoko and did manual labor. One group dug a trench for a new care point. The other group dug a hole for a squatty at someone’s house. 
On Saturday we got to give out clothes to the kids at the center/ carepoint we live at. We got to see their excited faces as they looked through the clothes to see what would fit them. It’s so great to see them in their new clothes because they wear the same ratty, torn, smelly clothes everyday beacuse that’s all they have.
On Sunday an adult came that is staying for ten days. They’re here to build a new carepoint. We’re going to be helping out with that this week as well. 
On Wednesday we have to go back to South Africa to renew our Visas, so we’re going to the beach at St. Lucia for the day. It’ll be so cool to see the ocean from Africa!
Other than that, we’ll be doing our normal ministry. Thank you so much for all of your prayers! They have been amazing. Keep it up… less than a month left!!
