Friday we left early in the morning to collect some beds (13 beds) Gunter got them donated from overseas. We were meeting today with the organisation Isolubantu This organisation is created by people from the community. Great people that do not have theirselfs the finance to even get their own food every day on the table but do have a big heart and good ears to listen to the people in need. They have a list of "clients", as they call them, and they are around their own neigbourhood. Although neigbourhood is here a big word because it might be 10km away from where they live. As they do not have transportation they do it all by foot. We were told that on friday we will be going to two schools and 13 houses to bring the beds. At the first school we met the director and the teachers. Also a local newspaper came by to do an interview. And there were pictures taken. At the school we got to know two beautifull children they were choosen by the school director to be the lucky ones to get a new bed. They were choosen as they are orphanes and to be one of the poorest at the school. While we were waiting I went walking around the school, the lunch break just started so children were everywhere, I smilled to all and felt realy happy walking around them. But it became a bit strange as they were shy, they looked at me and just started laughing at me, and pointing fingers at me. I was the strange object at the school!!!!! Never realised that I could be an outsider!! When we finished at the school we all (including the kids)got in to the car (pick up car) and trailer.
After that we went to the second school where we also met the director and teachers. Other two children were presented to us and one of the grandmothers was there.The other grandmother was on her way but we will meet her on the road. Later I realised how far away this grandmother had to walk to come and meet us at school. +/- 7 km with a lot of hills and here grandchild has to do it every day. Luckely we met her and she could join us in the pickup car. Then we started our tour to pass by every house that the organisation Isolubantu had planned for that day. I realy was impressed, sad and happy on the other side to see which kind of houses we were going to. In the beautifull country side where we were,we stopped at the most poorest houses I have ever seen. Some people had to make space for the bed as they just have such a little house and the only thing they own is for an example a little cupboard with no doors is already taking space in the house. One house we only entered with 4 of us to prepare the bed and when they finished they hardly could get out and the door could not open anymore. I am very happy to know that this organisation will take care for this people and that they are not left behind. Although they can not help them with finance they can help with listening and give them advice. For me it was a great experience, the whole day driving in the back of a pickup, seeing the beautifull country, see people smile after they received the bed, my first sugarcane chewing, be surounded by great loving people and I even got a Zulu name Bongiwe.....which means someting like Thank you......I hope you can feel what I felt looking at the pictures.
