2 Weeks to Go

Well I have been at the new house and project for two weeks now and it has just flown by. I'm really enjoying the fact that I am helping feed these children who otherwise don't eat at home, but the days are alot shorter than what I was use to at the orphanage. During the first week we were able to stay after we fed them and help out in the classrooms. We filled in for those teachers who were out for the day and it was quite entertaining. The kids here are so polite and thank you for everything. This past week it was just me and the woman who runs the program in the kitchen and some of the older girls made us flowers out of paper. One of the girls also made a card thanking us for all we do and letting us know how much she loves us. It just warms your heart to know how much one meal can mean to someone. The school year is coming to a close here so they have been taking their end of the year exams and I have not been needed in the classrooms so I am done by 11am everyday. I find myself somewhat bored but at least last week was filled with a soccer match and a braai(a South African barbeque). I was happy to see my friends from the other house at these events and I was lucky enough to return to my old house for the weekend. I'm amazed at how fast these last two weeks have gone and can't believe that I'll be going home in just two weeks. 
Praying before lunch...there are 38 kids in the program
