trip to an orphanage

Hello again.

I have to say first off i just checked my facebook and to see 52 pople having joined my blog was so encouraging so thank you so much. Since I last posted I visited an orphanage for kids whose parents had died of aids. This was the hardest part of the trip by far. The children there were playing on a football pitch absolutely covered in broken glass half of which did not have shoes. this made especially angry. Just walking 4 steps I had already picked up a handfuls worth of glass. What was especially hard was to find out most of the orphans had less than 2 meals week. Again though the way these kids played football and ran around you would not know it, they seemed in far better shape than me! I am glad that I saw this place but at the same time wish I had not.
By contrast the next day I visited a fish shop which had government funding. Proof that misappropriation of funding is still alive and well in Africa. These last three days haved been espeically hard for all of us. We hve been exhausted, and this has started to come out in misunderstandings and in being easily irritable, this has been much better today, however, I think we have recovered and are ready to face what is next. The new school is fun and reasonably receptive to what we are dfonig but it is too early to tell whether we are having any impact. But God is good, he has restored the team he has dealt with my problems and I am feeling close to him once more excited about doing his will. But I must go and let anthony get on the internet he's a namibian and looks likel a backnig memeber from east 17

Love Nathan!
