Hey Everyone!!!
Today we split into three groups. One went to Lesotho Save the Children farm, one went to Maholi ECCD (Preschool) and St. Peter's Primary School. The last group continued visits at Baylor Pediatric AIDS Clinic. Lesotho Save the Children is an organization that helps orphaned youth learn life skills and vocational skills. The farm group worked on clearing away weeds from gardens and building footpaths. The farm provides food for orphans as well as a means of income for the adolescents who sell the surplus crops. The plan is for the farm to be up and running by the beginning of August. The school group split into two subgroups. One group painted an alphabet in a classroom and the other group started construction on a playground. Despite having a minor setback (missing all the nails and thread bars), we adapted and overcame by digging and cementing all the holes. While we were there, we were served traditional Lesotho foods and the students performed several traditional dances. So cute! They even let some of us get into the Lesotho dancing costumes and groove with them!
It is hard to believe that we are approaching our last work day tomorrow. The trip is winding down! Can't wait to see you when we get back in the U. S. of A! Yay!
