last week we were blessed to have hosted the latest team from trinity church in dallas. the team were ably lead by krissy clarke who had spent 6 months working on thembalitsha projects last year, so the team were in good hands.
as with all our visiting teams we want to make sure that they gain the whole overview of the work that we do in grabouw, so we were able to send teams with the thembacare home based palliative care team, provide opportunities for them to engage with the children we work with via our sports outreach project in schools and communities and also allow them to spend some quality time with the 9 children who live with us at the village of hope.
they also blessed us with some amazing and much needed presents, such as syringes for drawing up the children's meds and covers for the mattresses in the volunteer unit. the guys also spent time painting a couple of new (secondhand) cupboards and filing cabinets for the new office and painted scriptures on the walls in the children's unit....which look fantastic.
on saturday afternoon we were able to take the guys to the semi final of the curry cup (a national rugby tournament) where the mighty western province beat the cheaters 31 points to 7....a great time was had by all.
we will miss the team and thank them for their support not only during the time they served on our project but as they go back to dallas as our ambassadors for the work that thembalitsha are doing here in the western cape.
