To young to have a funeral

This weekend we went to a funeral of a young boy (18 years). No, I did not know him, I met him when he died. He was a young boy hanging around with his friend and did what most boys do at that age. Unfortunally they got in to a fight with other young boys which they knew, and the other boys had to "finish unfinished business" from two years ago. They finished it with a knife. So this weekend we went with a lot of children of the boys school to the funeral. The ceremony took place at the parents house in a tent. A lot of singing and praying. The ceremony took hours but still to short.....the same as the boys life.


The boy (17 years) who killed him is in jail.

The lemon tree

To much for us and so easy to share. Just from two trees in the garden of Gunter and Lizzy we got all these lemons. As we like lemon a lot we do not want to over do it. Lemon drink, lemon cake, lemon ice cubes, lemon sauce, lemon fish, lemon tea, lemon icetea....Ok enough, we need 15 lemons for all this....what do we do with 30-50 kg of lemons? well let´s bring it to people in the townships. Great idea and big fun !!!! And even one guy who help us out we discovered he is a great sales person. He just shouted FREE LEMON FRESH JUST FROM THE TREE, LEMON JUICE, FOR MOTHERSDAY......and yes they all wanted.....bags full with lemons. They use the lemon especially to mix it with the porridge so it tast better.

What a beautiful day........

A bed that fit in a house

Through an organisation that work with orphans we got a request for a bed. A family of 4, two parents two children sleep on just a mattress on top of some bricks. The floor is humid so the mattress as well, and when they sleep they all roll over to the middle. So as we have beds to distribute we went to bring this family a bed. Although the bed fills the whole house they are very happy with it.

This is the house, not just a roomYes Gunter I will help you I am not just here to take picturesThis is the house but just half of it is for the family of fourThe bed is big or the house smallThe happy couple
and we are happy too. Sweet dreams
