The Purposed Trek

Just to prove to you all that I am in South Africa and I am working with the people of South Africa, not just the Franzen's, here is a photo from my time out with the children today. I spent yesterday afternoon dancing with these 2 guys and this morning when I pulled up they both came running over, hugged me and started dancing. As you can see one is missing a few teeth and the other is enjoying chewing on an umbrella handle. The things children find to play with here is ingenious and are typically things that Americans would scold their children for playing with or picking up off the ground and putting in their mouths. This is a group of adults that are showing off the blankets that Impact Africa and the teams are passing out. It is very cold here and the blankets are a warm welcome by the African people. We distribute them by wearing them as a coat and then giving the people the blanket off our "back". Their faces are precious when you hand them one. I love it here. The people are beautiful, the children love the attention and just want to be hugged, held and played with, and they have an ability to cause you to forgoe the "I don't want to get dirty" mindset.
