HOLLLAAAA!!!

HELLO FELLOW AMERICANS!!!

Today in the far away land of Lesotho we had many adventures. We began our day with breakfast in our usual dining area. Luckily breakfast was pushed back a half hour so we were able to sleep in until 7:30. Poor Colleen however was not so lucky; she was feeling a little under the weather. No worries she is feeling much better now and is ready for our adventures tomorrow. After breakfast we loaded up in the vans like a herd of cattle and headed toward Maseru. We then divided up into different groups and went our separate ways.

One group went to the Maseru Children’s Village, a Lesotho Save the Children orphanage, and began painting the walls. The second group continued to work with PHCL and Skillshare volunteers delivering goods to needy families in villages around Maseru. A small group of lovely and talented females spent the whole day at Baylor Pediatric AIDs Clinic. After a morning of hard and physically strenuous work we reconvened for lunch. Where we were surprised with delicious Chomp bars (wafers covered in caramel and delicious milk chocolate YUMMMM).

After lunch, the group that painted in the morning stayed and delivered goods to the families in the villages while the other group went to the orphanage and finished the painting of the walls and also held a soccer clinic. A group of 11 of us worked alongside four Lesotho National soccer players to coach 35 orphans at a soccer clinic at local orphanage. They spent an hour and a half working on various skills. At the end of the clinic we donated; jerseys, shorts, shoes, and futbols- soccer balls. It was great to play and frolic with the children.

We then ventured back to the charming Trading Post and had our nightly group meeting. We then enjoyed another delicious dinner and dessert. We plan on having a relaxing evening and prepare for our next work site.

Forever yours,

Sinjin, Erica, and Colleen
