Walking down to Tsi Tsa Falls to do the zip line. Notice Billy the goat trotting along with us and the dogs...so funny! He really believes he is a dog!
Wally at the top of the falls.....
Me at the top of the falls....
Angela and Nika came to watch us...John in back is still not so sure he wants to do this....a bit afraid of heights...
All geared up and ready to go...YIKES! I did go and jumped off the cliff screaming with my eyes closed...then I opened them and tried to enjoy the amazing view....it really was awsome!! Almost everyone did it...the kids did great! Andrian is gearing Seth up behind me.
Katy had sprained her ankle playing soccer with the kids at Farview, so has been hobbling around. She actually did the zip line, though...what a trooper!!
Our last supper together...it truly has felt like home and these people like my new family...Andrian and Angela have been wonderful hosts!
The food was always so beautiful...had to take a picture of it...
Brian, Nique, Honjiswa, John, Diana, Tom and Christi...toasting wonderful friends and a successful week of work!
Jimi and Nika...
She was such a good baby. Put up with us passing her around the whole time...
Angela and Andrian making our breakfast before we leave for the celebration and dedication at Farview School. This will be the last time we see them.
Angela toasts bread over the fire and Andrian makes eggs in a make-shift wok....Delish!
Roomies....Wally, John and Tom in their barn...
Roomies...Janet, Diana and me....
Our last day with these awesome kids!
The teachers' toilets are coming along so well! Awesome guys! Pushing is on the right...
Pulling on the left...such a wonderful, happy guy! Love him! Hope to get to see him again some day...
The banner we had made and hung for the school dedication....we all signed it.
Seth and Amanda with their new found friends....
Seth, Amanda, Abbi and Katy with their new friends...
Brian A. thanks the awesome "mamma's" for their delicious lunches every day. We will miss them. Esther is on the right.
The community, students and teachers of Farview had a beautiful celebration for us. There were dances and singing and speeches....it was very touching and no one had dry eyes...these ladies were doing a traditional African dance for us...Then Father Makoro had a wonderful prayer, as he always does...
Brian Anderson got the whole Farview group together and recorded them saying "Be The Change"! It was awesome!
These boys adored Amanda and asked if I would get a picture of them with her....
I couldn't resist this sweet face...
The dedication of the school in front of the banner we hung for them....it was a very emotional day...
Father Makoro and me...we loved this man...
As we were leaving, this girl clung to Katy and didn't want her to go. Our kids will never forget such an amazing experience, and neither with the students of Farview. It was such a rewarding project...we all want to do it again!
These are beautiful letters and pictures the kids made for us...some for the whole team and some for the special individuals that they really connected with. These are priceless!
This was for Tom from Agnes....
This was to Katy (or Kyd) from Lineo...
This was to John...
