Hanging with new friends


Esther and Saskia have found some good friends, and can communicate in ways other than language without a problem. This little girl is called Debbie, a precious little girl in many ways xx

Little mums



As all these children have no longer got a mum or dad, the older girls 
generally take care of the younger ones, so this is a common sight.  

wiring up the technical college



Harvesters already has a school for all the orphans and some of the local children here, but are now hoping to start up a vocational training college, to teach some of the older graduating boys and girls some life skills. They hope to teach some agriculture, sewing
and business courses, and develop according to need. Martin is helping to wire up
some electricity to their first building here, with some keen helpers.

Africans know how to do church

We just love church here! We didn't get a very good photo, but there is a choir at the
front and we spend a good hour singing African style. Such beautiful natural rhythm and freedom, repeating the same verse over and over, as if they just make it up as they go....
....and then suddenly, everyone just knows when to stop.
Boys sit on the left and girls on the right.  

Tractor

 It's me, Bobby, and some of my new friends!
 
Adam is the handyman around here and goes around fixing things and building some
of the developments that are happening around here. The boys all love him, and
love to help him. Yesterday they got to have a ride on the back of his tractor. Such fun!
