Hi everyone!
Since today is the last day of the month, we have all been given access to the Orphan Care's internet. After today they'll have to conserve it because they get a monthly alottment.
We arrived here last night in pitch black darkness after 8 hours drive from Jo-burg. The road were pretty good but narrow. The closer we got, the more beautiful it was - mountains etc.
Once we arrived we lugged everything to our very tiny rooms, dealt with a very large spider, and got some sleep. The toilets flush but there is no hot water. My next shower will either be very cold or not until Friday night! We spent the day preparing for our first day of camp tomorrow. We've met several of the workers here - all very nice.
This morning when I came out of our room I could hear drumming/singing - across a valley a small group of kids were probably celebrating their break from school. Caught it on video - as I zoomed in I realized that they were dancing as well.
We also shopped for our food - not Piggly Wiggly!! Our meals will be simple and different! The local pastor came to meet us and invite us to worship with them on Sunday. Unfortunately we will probably be out of town.
Anyway, besides the big spiders we're doing really well.
Take care everyone,
Cheri
