South Africa Report - April 2016

Kids from an orphanage signed the students shirts
Grace had such an amazing trip that she wants to go back next year and she also wants to go on the mission trip to Chile!

They did a lot of different service projects and really got the feeling that they were helping the people.

Some of the highlights:

Helping a woman named Mama Agnes who feeds the children of the community.

Organizing all the donated items to be delivered to those in need

Seeing lions, a cheetah (which is rare), hippos, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, rhinos and meerkats

Watching lions get fed

Playing with and feeding kids in an orphanage

Getting 32 ice cream cones, from the drive thru, at McDonalds after a long, hot day of work.

Watching one of the vans get into accident (no one was hurt)

Getting little plastic bikes for the local preschool

Going to the grocery store to get supplies

Repairing a playground - G got to use the electric drill!

Eating at Kentucky Fried Chicken

Meeting the 5 little boys of the host family (Moses, Nehemiah, Micah, Isaac and ?)



No words needed...

This is a house in Freedom Village - they fed people here

Selfie with a lion

This was on a safari


This is from a place where they had dinner and saw the lions be fed

Easter at Mama Agnes'

One of the kids wrote this note to the students.  We keep getting fits of giggles because of the line "Praise God and Shame the Satan".  Let's just say the phrase "Shame the Satan" will become a regular in our house!
