This was the verse outside the House of Hope when the girls went to visit this morning. We were welcomed by the staff and 8 babies under 15 months. We got to feed and change the babies. There were 3 tiny girls only 3 weeks old. The mothers of these babies were HIV/AIDS positive but luckily the babies weren't. Hopefully they'll be adopted soon! Before we left, we enjoyed a cup of Red Bush tea, a traditional African drink, with the ladies at the house.
While the girls were at the House of Hope, Tom and Eddie finished their generator project in the attic. The smell of tripe (pig intestines) cooking in the flats made them hurry! The supposed 4 day project took a day and a half.
This afternoon we once again helped the children with their homework. Eddie painted a lot of fingernails for the girls. We broke a sweat playing "keep away" in the hallway with some of the older kids.
Tomorrow we will be going to Morningstar to visit the children. Morningstar is a daycare/preschool/kindergarten/1st grade for children who are HIV +. We are hoping to volunteer there for a day doing painting or other projects.
Thanks for your prayers!
