Sam loving one of the kids! Kayla holding one of the babies!!   We fasted yesterday and by 8:30am many of our stomachs were already making themselves known with rumbles of hunger. We had eaten a great dinner of salad, roasted veggies, pasta and even ice-cream the night before, but our bodies were ready for breakfast. It was a sobering moment as we thought about the kids we work with at the carepoints each day. We feed them a bowl of pop (corn mush) and beans every afternoon and this is often the only food that will touch their lips. One small meal a day. And yet, they show...

Our team flag.  Our handprints on the Swazi mountains. Monday through Friday we get to spend most of our day at the carepoints [where the kids are taught, fed and looked after]. We help out with the preschool classes, cook with the grandmas, hold beautiful children, help with the Bible club, and sweat through an array of crazy running games.
