well after nearly 4 weeks in england tim, maz and arron have returned to the village of hope, where barbara, emma, daz and lisa held fort, thanks to them and their efforts which are very much appreciated.
there were obvoulsy some very taxing times when we were away, especially with our 10 year old boy being taken into the red cross childrens hospital with life treatening complications but there were also some very positive improvements made, johan has done a great job of turning our new shed into a very workable office space and we thank him for completing that before we got home!
whilst we were in england we had an oppertunity to share the work that we are doing with serveral hundred people at various events and we would like to thank the wider thembalitshauk team for setting those events up, they included a barn dance, two speaking oppertunities at local churches, an evening event at ashby de le zouch, speaking to junior school children in oxfordshire and a 'safari' supper (where you have an evening meal at various homes and come together for pudding at the end).....
we think the greatest blessing on our return was the oppertunity that we had to visit our 10 year old boy immideiatly we landed in cape town, to see his face light up as he saw 'mommy maz' was amazing, we continue to pray for him and he certainly isn't out of the woods yet but when all is said and done our calling to south africa is all about making a difference, whether that be to a large community or to one very sick little boy.
