Week 4


As a group we have successfully finished our first work project which was repainting an old home to ready it for a future administrator or even as a future home for teachers.  Now we have begun a new project for the town of Bulembu, painting a large flat for workers.  Many of the workers for the town have to walk from another nearby town, and our project leaders have been trying to fix up this old flat for a long time.  We have scraped the roof for painting (roofs here are metal shingles) and the inside walls as well.  Charles, one of the Bulembu painters, has even told a few of us he is proud of how well we paint and that he would like us to work with him again in the future.

One of the Aunties that I worked with at the toddler home has begun calling me her friend, which is incredible.  Most of them have come from backgrounds similar to the kids, so having one of them call me friend is truly an honor.
