Time runs by soo fast, we have Saturday
already. Not too much time till we go on our big trip J did I
tell you about it? I and four other volis are going to Capetown J Afterwards we are planning to drive along the coast until we are
back home. We are supper excited about this trip: D
But for now I am going to write about my
last week and this weekend in Greytown.
This week so Children start to leave to
their families because in the beginning of December the big Christmas vocations
start here. Since all the exams in the schools are written, the kids don’t have
to go to school anymore (isn’t that weird?), so some of them go back home even
before the vocations actually start. So we don’t have a study time anymore
because there is no homework anymore (if there ever had been haha ). So I have
time to play with the kids in my house.
I taught them some gymnastics had we
had so much fun together.
Also Anele, my big little girl from NB left
on Friday. I guess because of this she acted so weird this week. Most mornings
she did not want to go to Kammaland and did run back home, which is a difficult
situation for me because I have to bring her to school, even though she does
not want to go! That is a bugging job, believe me!
Well it was hard to say goodbye to her
yesterday after lunch. She will be gone for almost two month and I am sure that
she will behave really differently when she comes back! But her smile while she
kept telling me she is going home was a nice thing to see.
My week kept on being bad because on Monday
evening I did cut myself really bad while cooking, but my other girls helped me
with the blood as fast as they could. I am sure I am going to have a hub from that :$
On Wednesday Pieter offered Leonie and me
as equation for our effort with the Certificates to go along to a meeting in
another Children’s Home called Koningsdale. The road to go there is really
beautiful. We drove along the President’s house and through a forest called
Nkandla Forest. Here you can see how beautiful it is there:)
We even saw a wild horse…
Konigsdale was quite different than our
Kinderhuis. It has 89 children there, even from the age 0. We played with the
smaller ones for a long time. They also have sheep and horses there. We had an
African lunch and made our 2 ½ hour way back home.
Leonie and I were actually really excited
about Friday because from noon there will be just the two of us because the
others will leave for Durban and the Drakensbergs.
Our hall time was great fun. We danced,
played and shoot photos with the kiddies.
Afterwards we cleaned the kitchen and
talked a lot about our plans for the weekend. We decided to go to the computer
room to research a little bit more about our trip to Capetown. Suddenly the
electricity decided to turn off for an hour and we were sitting in the dark. We
planned to borrow a movie at LH and eat noodles at midnight while watching
“Despicable Me2” (this was a great decision :D). We slept in Toevlug and had a
great night.
Today we will go with two of the Toddlers
to the Supermarket where they can spent their pocket money. Afterwards we will
bake some Christmas cookies because most of the time in December we will be
gone. I can’t wait, we will have great fun I am sure :)
Lots of Love
Fredo
