Sucess

There were success this weekend.
Finally, we made it. We went to the Catholic AIDS action center, where we played with the orphans. We had no choice but to improvise - we arrived to find kids already in motion playing soccer. We could not stop them. So we asked those seated under the thornbush trees that characterise our landscapes to play with us. We played on the yellow and brown coloured fields.
It was real fun.
Though we outnumbered the kids at least 3:1 (most of them were inthe other game, where the center co-ordinator was refereeing when we arrived).
Next time I will plan accordingly and in advance schedule with Mary Beth.
Amaizing woman, how does she do this? American of course (the name) , she is not just any other volunteer. SHe is an adult about 30 something and she is doing this work ! So she doe snot fit the profile of a recent college grad from an Ivy league institution who wants an African experience as a peace coprs volunteer.

I will arrange for us to go again give that the kids want to go.
The teachers of the kids (who are students of the Holy confirmation) praised me somehow during our reflection. Mr Pandeni, who also taught me confirmation classes, said that now the fruits of the Holy Spirit were beginning to show.
I want to post the pics.
