Dance the night away.....Day #4

Today was phenomenal. This morning we visited a daycare center (creche in zulu). The owner, Emelda was so happy to have us come. She takes care of 61 children from ages 9 months to 3 years old. The children were so wonderful. We all got to play with them and just have fun. Such amazing children and so full of joy. Emelda runs the center with 4 others. We took some coloring books and crayons for the children. They were very happy to have them. They even sang for us. It was amazing.

Then we headed to the site. Today we put on the roof.....woo! hoo! We also painted the outside a cream/yellow and sreeted the floor. So tomorrow we paint the inside, make a step and the house is finished. So great to be here for the finished product.

This evening we danced the night away. The kids in the community had a talent night for us. The youth choir and a few others sang for us. Such amazing voices, they bring tears to my eyes. We also had a few skits and then there was some zulu dancing. It is always a sight to see. And well the team joined in and danced with everyone. We had a braai (barbecue) and shared a meal with the kids. What awesome fellowship we had tonight. An evening that I will never forget.
