school days...


We're still on the adventure of a lifetime. Tuesday saw us back to work at Ft. White doing various projects to get the space ready for future mission teams...everything from fixing walkways, prepping the fields and sorting out rock for the septic system. It was hot here today (roughly 90 degrees), but all of us enjoyed the summer treat in November!

After some projects at Ft. White, we headed back to Debe Nek school to paint and play with the kids. Roughly 92 kids were ready and waiting for the team. As you'll see the in picture the kids took quickly to the group, and are full of love and warm smiles to share. The first coat of paint is set, and the teachers are delighted. We were happy to see that the community that came together the day before to help us, had finished clearing the garden in between our visits. Maybe the motivation of our team has become contagious!

The team has grown very fond of Ft. White, with the outstanding hospitality of the Fudges. Ms. Becky is quite the cook, so don't worry, we're eating very well.

Today we're on a break and off to Inkwenkwezi for our game drive. Sure there will be a lot to report in the next blog.

  1. Hi Mel -
    Happy Thanksgiving!!! I'm sure after a trip like this your understanding of all you have to be thankful for will take on new meaning. I love you!
