transition











the spring/summer rains are almost here. the wind is picking up, bringing with it dust, trash, warmth and the rains. the rainy season is ending in capetown but about to start here in kwazulu-natal.

so say that being able to come here has been life-changing. even through the madness that are our days, there are a couple of things that stick to my mind. elzeth is the lady who is in charge of the AIDS orphans and the vulnerable children. she told us the first time that we met her she told us that helping people is not about changing their whole lives, its about improving their lives by only one step. the other thing that has left a lifelong impression is the generosity of spirit of the people that we have met. the other thing that has been amazing and heartwarming is the generosity of spirit of the people that we have met. many of the people that we have met have so little but the little that they do have, they have happily shared with us.
