Hello readers
Today has been a long an challenging day. We spent most of it on the Cottonlands township just a stones throw away from the LIV village. We went to dig a garden path for a single mother who’s house we have payed for and built over the past week. We also put in some concrete steps and a path leading to the new house. It was a great opportunity to work alongside the community as well as over coming resource limitations.
Got too try my hand at cement mixing and laying, also got to cut some wood with a machete I was handed (photos coming soon) what was amazing was the level of joy the community have. They literally have next to nothing, living in cramped conditions with even basic necessities being hard to come by. But yet they radiate so much happiness in what they have and in what Gods blessed them with, surely we can learn from them in our western culture.
We spent the evening at a traditional Zulu restaurant which was a spectacular time together as a team. Got to eat both crocodile and warthog, while also having traditional Zulu face paint. We then walks to the end of the pier where there was a bar and did some Zulu dancing! (To shakira)
Right I need to get to bed as we’re going to see the sun rise over the ocean tomorrow.
Many blessings
