Preschool: After graduating with a degree in elementary education and being too overwhelmed in the public school system, the Lord has redeemed my educational woes and I have found a new love: preschoolers. Besides the language barrier, differences in discipline and the collectivist culture I can use all my teaching skills here in Swaziland.
Pop and beans: Each day at the care point( preschool plus a safe place where children through high school can come and eat/ hang out) the children are served lunch which usually consists of pop( a white porridge with no taste that has the consistency of mashed potatoes) and beans. The children love it and each have a Tupperware container to take some home for supper.
Partaay: I mean what else would take place when you have 26 women living in one house? At any point in the day you can find people: running/working out/doing zumba, hanging out on the porch, watching moves, having bible conversations, cooking meals, doing dishes, cleaning the house, trying to pretend their alone, playing the guitar, playing cards, eating, going to the grocery store/cafe or coughing up a lung.
Our lives in Swaziland was nothing like I imagined,but the Lord is doing amazing things here and I feel blessed to be a part on it for this month. Our last day of ministry was June 29th, we are at 4 day debrief in the capital. My 4th of July will be spent traveling to South Africa. We are stopping in Johannesburg, SA to apply for our Inida visas, then we are off on a 25 hour bus ride to Cape Town where we will be spending the month. Enjoy some fireworks and a parade for me!
Peace.
