Keeping the Hope Alive

As you may know by now the trip has ended, but our Hope is still alive.  Due to limited time and internet availability we weren't able to cover the last 3 days.  A few highlights include:
  • Celebrating Thanksgiving with 30 of our South African friends .  We enjoyed Turkey, stuffing and great fixings.  It's great to share our tradition with our new friends and truly take the time to be thankful!
  • Wrapping up our renovation work at Hope with an immense amount of work on Thursday.  
  • Going on our game drive where we saw lions, rhinos and plenty of other South African animals in the preserve.
  • Closing out Holiday Club with the kids at Hope where we celebrated with a party.  We sang with them, gave them hot dogs, ice cream & chips and dressed them up in Santa Hats!  Amazing photos coming back from this day!
The support at home and on the ground in South Africa was tremendous.  We are incredibly grateful for this experience, and look forward to sharing it with you now that we're back.  Our hearts are forever changed, and we bring back the story of so many amazing people big and small to share with each of you.  Thanks for following!
