Day 5- Clover School Visit and Painting at the Community Center

Carl Nel
Born in South Africa he has been working with African Exposure for seven years. He has also been a Game Ranger for three years. "Mission work comes from a person's heart." During his free time he cuts up sugar cane for us to taste and is even considering hosting a show in the states similar to The Crocodile Hunter. Doesn't he fit the role perfectly? (Carl pictured below)

Senzo Mzobe
Born in Porshstorn, South Africa he has worked on the creche for one year. He also does car painting to support his family. He has one child, 16 months old named Melusi. His mother and father are living and are named Senzo and Samwol. One lives in Ntshongweni, where we are working and the other lives in Inada, which is a 45 minute drive from the village. "I love children so much and will be here for the official opening of the creche in October." This is why he does the work. He also lives in the village. (Senzo Pictured Below)
Pastor K speaking with the Children at Clover School which serves Shongweni. The children were very well behaved.

The school was originally a Catholic School and has since been taken over by the public school system. The school buildings were built in 1941, according to the Assistant Principal. Helping fix this facility up would be a great future project.

  1. I had no idea all of these pictures were up on the website-sorry I just found them today. It looks like you all had a great time and made a huge difference in the lives of those children. Thank you for your work. It was great of you, Scott, to post these pictures and this blog. Thanks. PK, I miss you and love you. See you soon.

    What a fabulous day. Saying goodbye is always difficult and we all had tears on our faces. Although we did great work here in the village, there is much to be done. I cannot wait to come back and do more work here.

  3. Wow, great pictures and descriptions. I love the one of Pastor talking to all the kids together. So glad everyone had the opportunity to GO, as we are called to do. Interesting to think is church a parking lot, or a launching pad. Looking forward to going over all the blogs again and seeing all the pictures again. So much to take in. Safe travels home...
