But I still have some things to say. I will put up some photos again soon, however not much exciting has happened lately. I've just been busy with school and hanging out with friends.
One new thing that I have done recently was to visit a transition home for abandoned babies. It was very interesting, but also very tough. I'm going to be volunteering there once a week now, maybe more depending. There are seven babies there now (the oldest is 3), and two of them are HIV positive. It's a very surreal environment to see these innocent children who have been abandoned by their own parents...some of them left with a disease that will affect them for the rest of their lives. It is a church-based home (started by Glenridge International Church, where I go Sunday evenings), so it is very faith-oriented. Basically the home takes in babies from the time they are abandoned until they are adopted or are too old for the program. It is a home environment and so basically I go and play with them, feed them, change their diapers, and love them....basically I become their mom! It should be very rewarding. I have only been once, but already I have fallen for this little babies...they are so adorable! Once I know them better I will take some photos and post them on here of the little ones. I feel so honoured to be able to pour my love and Christs love into these little lives! Truely a blessing!
that is about the only new and exciting thing that has occured recently. I will post some photos after this weekend. Love you all! Cheers!
Wednesday was Human Rights Day, which is a public holiday, so my friend Shelia and I went with a bunch of South Africans down the coast to Scottburgh. It was about an hour drive, but it was nice to get out of Durban. We spent the whole day tanning, swimming and eating. No better way to spend a holiday!

Beautiful! Lots of weddings and birthday parties there that day.
