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.
