Hey Friends! I got surprise Internet access today so just wanted to do a quick post. The vision team I was helping lead left yesterday. I miss them already, what a great group, open hearts, huge vision, just all around wonderful people. I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to work with and learn from them. Check out Seth’s video blog of the prayer project and shoe distribution that we did a few days ago. 
 
Shoe day was a little chaotic but the highlight was getting to put a huge pair of brand new Air One’s on Thulane, my favorite kid. It was good to see a lot of bare feet covered.

This week I’m working with a World Race team in Nsoko. I’ll be following up more with Thulane and his family. I’m also researching the prices for building and supporting a school at the Nsoko care point. That way instead of just sponsoring kids to go to school, we can pay for the whole school. The kids will get a much better education that way. It’s pretty sick, a lot of the girls here have to prostitute them selves to have enough money to pay school fees or to get into the schools.  

Finally, I’m hoping to visit a new care point that our vision trip host Jumbo was talking about. He said that the kids there are suffering from the worst malnutrition he has ever seen, and he has seen it all. Hopefully I’ll be posting pictures of it soon. I would love to find people adopt that Care Point. 

For those of you who are newer to the blog. A care point is a place where the Grandmothers in Swaziland feed the children, most of whom don’t get enough food at home. Many of the children don’t have parents at home either. They cook and feed once a day, most of the time it’s a corn meal substance called Pap. The kids wonder to the care points from miles away in the hopes of getting food. 

AIM (Adventures in Missions) adopts the Care Points and makes sure that the children get consistent food, water, safety, etc. Basically by adopting a Care Point they adopt all the children in an area. After the basic needs are met they start with educating the kids, getting the kids into sports, building churches and health clinics. It’s an amazing ministry!!
