SA School

One of the places we stayed in South Africa has started a school for the workers children. Before we went each of us sponsored one of the children in the school and will continue doing that until they graduate. It was such a great experience to actually get to meet the children we sponsored. We took two big bags FULL of things for the children. Clothes, blankets, shoes, socks, toys, books, paper, things for school parties, and much more. It was so amazing to be able to give these things to these children who really don't have alot. We spent the morning playing with the children and letting them see everything we brought. It was so much fun to be able to give them new t-shirts that we had made and all of us match. The kids just loved that! They are just now learning english and had so much fun trying to talk to us and tell us different Bible verses they have memorized. They sang songs for us and showed us all of their activities they do everyday.
This is the whole group, all of the kids, teachers and all of our groupLearning how to hit off of a tee. They don't play baseball there so they didn't know what to do with the tee. It was so much fun to be able to show them and then play baseball with them. They are so stinking cute!

It was such a blessing to get to meet these children. God us blessed us beyond measure and it is great to give back to others. All of these children will always hold a special place in my heart. They are so precious. Also the teachers are amazing. The main teacher just learned english 2 years ago and is now teaching it to these children, which is just amazing. She is such a blessing to these children and to her own children. It was so awesome to get to meet her and spend time with her. Also the family that started these schools are just amazing. Another just wonderful wonderful family. I am so glad Angela got to spend the day with us at the school. What they have done for these children and the children at the other schools is wonderful. God is doing such great things at these schools and I hope we get the chance to go back there to visit these children and share with them.
