Americans visit

What a blessing to have 8 USA Missionaries joining THF Youth development for 5 weeks! Rachel, Shane, Mary Kate, Anna, Rachel K, Emily, Lindsey and Chelsey: you were such an inspiration to the children and you made a huge difference in the lives of the mentors working here at school! It was such a privilege to get to know Christian sisters and a brother from U.S.A.

Here are some of the photo's of the children taken while the Americans were here with us:

We did lots of Kid's Games and were able to teach the Americans a few games:

Taking the Americans on a township tour. They even had some local "township burgers". We call it sgambane.

Shane and Mary Kate also had an opportunity to present a teaching at the High School. They taught the teenagers how to study which I hope they will remember in the future ;-)

One of our mentors was turned 20. We threw him a big party for him with our American friends.

We also had a DJ, Happy :-)

If you see these beautiful flowers blooming you know its spring time. In our culture we have a tradition to throw water at each other on Spring Day. It was new to the Americans, but they enjoyed it - and ran fast!
