Party Time

On Saturday we took about 35 kids to Mukuvisi Woodlands. They played in the playground, and got to ride horses (all of them for the first time) and then a guide took us out to walk amongst the zebra and wildebeest (unfortunately, the giraffes were hiding). Then we came back and had a braai (bbq) and cake. The kids even got "treat bags" with maputi (popcorn), biscuits (cookies), sweets (candies) and a straw (this was a big deal!) to take home. I loved the extremely loud singing on the combi ride home. It was a great day, and so nice to see all of these kids just having so much fun. Life is tough, but sometimes kids just need to have a little fun. And besides - it was the week of our president's 83rd birthday. Seeing as the life expectancy for men here is only 34, he's done very well!
