Ndwedwe

There is a couple we met through the BEC called Jabu and Vincent. They believe and are taking the courses we offer through the BEC and want to be baptised. They also set up a feeding scheme in a rural place called ndwedwe for the children there that are very poor. Our time spent with Vincent and Jabu has been us teaching them about the bible, but this day it was them teaching us, it was just so awesome to see relationships developing!

We had asked for donations of staple food and clothes to take up to ndwedwe that month. Ndwedwe is not close and not easy to get to, so we had to take enough to last the whole month. Durban and westville ecclesia had donated generously, we managed to fill the whole of the bakkie with supplies!

With the new bakkie it only took 2 hours to get there as opposed to 3 last time.

The next step is to build mud houses out of the natural materials around. At the moment there is no space! The kitchen used to cook is currently the gogo's home and opposite is a very small mud hut in which the 45 children eat in.

A mud hut will be built for cooking, a hut for eating and a hut for sleeping.

Jabu and Vincent are hoping to stay here on a more permenant basis helping out. The gogo needs help as she can't walk. She lives all alone and sleeps on a matress next to the fire on which she cooks.

This is Russels mother, they have an avocado tree on route to where the orphanage is which phil climbs and gets avos. enough to feed us all for a month
