We'll start with these.

The home that we worked at was at the very top of a mountain and this was my view all week. I've never seen anything so beautiful in my entire life. This was the Komati River and they said there were hippos and alligators in it.

I still can't believe I was in Africa!!!

One of my favourite parts of the day was when we would leave the home and the caravan of buses would take the windy dirt road all the way to the bottom. There were houses all the way down the mountain, and the kids would hear the buses coming and run out to the road to wave at us as we passed. One day Britta stayed behind at the hotel to help sort the clothes everyone brought for the kids and we finished our work early, so I was just sitting alone thinking to myself. There were about 130 volunteers at the home that day and everyone was playing with the kids. I kinda of felt like I was just one more person, I'll stay out of the way. Well, this sweet little girl and her friend came up to me and started talking to me. They made ME feel special, instead of the other way around like it should of been. Her friend braided my hair and held my hand and walked around with me for the next couple of hours.

She took this hat off my head and posed for me. The kids loved having their pictures taken. And she wore this hat all day until it was time for me to go.
