Day 27 – I’m back

Not that anyone’s missed it, but this is the longest I’ve been without blogging since coming to SA. There are a number of reasons and this week has been hectic and somewhat testing at times, on top of which I’ve not been able to use my laptop much.

Anyway, the next few entries will be brief as I’m finding them difficult to remember! We worked the Veg. Garden in the morning; I proudly uprooted a huge section of weed. What I was initially very weary of has become somewhat therapeutic, earphones in, spade out. The afternoon was spent at the Holiday Programme which took place at the same hall as the Soup Kitchen.

Monday and Tuesday were fantastic continuations of Day 5, spending hours with the local kids. We enjoyed dancing (uh, I filmed) and playing a variety of sports, picking favourites as you do! It’s safe to say that children sufficiently tire you out.

One thing we observed when walking to the hall was a house which had a British Telecom (BT) phone booth glass pane recycled and used for their window. My camera’s battery had died, but I’ll try to get a picture of it another day. It’s often the small things that make you think.
