we did some out-right crafts today. We made butterflies with coffee filters and clothespins. We sequestered the girls into the church (the boys are way too rowdy) and made bracelets with their names on them with beads. You can only imagine: I'm sitting in a chair with a box of seperated beads in my lap. Children EVERYWHERE. Some of them understood what we were doing, most of them knew how to spell their name, others needed help from others. I'm just hoping that they keep their name bracelets for the next group (who arrived today) to help them with names. Yeah, so we kicked out the boys and so the next group won't know the boys' names either.
Next group?
Yes, a young fresh group arrived today from the States. They're college students from NE, CO, UT, WY and SD and arrived in Pretoria from Jo'berg today. There's probably 20 of them and it's funny how we all feel like veterans since we've been here a week.
Tomorrow is our last full day with Beam and then on Wednesday, most of the team travels back to Denver (Kevin and his son Brian are travelling to Namibia, the McCulloughs and the Dupras are driving to the Indian Ocean coast on Thursday). We have one full day of overlap with the two teams and then we can pass the baton to the young fresh group.
We're not nearly as tired as I would think we could be, but we are definately ready to go back to our hostel by 4pm.
We're going to try and post some pictures either today or tomorrow.
