Mamelodi - Friday 5th

Lay in until 8 today and then headed into the office to finish off the Garsfontein Clinic with Blake, and also started the Midrand Clinic that we are also sorting out. Come 12pm, Blake and I headed out to Steers to grab some lunch and got a birthday present for Claire as well. We then headed back to the office where we were picked up by Gabi, who is one of the sports interns at Eastside Community Church, and then we headed off to Mamelodi. Mamelodi is a township area and the guys go down to the local park there and play football with the boys and the girls do some painting as well. And then afterwards they hand out flavoured water and oranges to all of the kids. It was such a simple idea but so effective. Also before anything starts they always have a bible sutdy time where they sit down in the middle of the park and read the bible together. It was such a good time. We then had to head back to the office, and we had a game of Pinch Mini. its basically the same as the UK one, that whenever you spot a mini coope you get to pinch the person next to you, and if yu see a beetle you get to punch them. It was of course played in a friendly christian way, and no-one was hurt. When we got back to the flat I had a quick shower before getting ready to go out to the cool beans youth group with David and Claire. We all had to have crazy hair so I dyed my hair green and Mark did his red. We then headed out to minigolf to meet all of the kids and played to courses each and was a really good laugh and was plent of water hazards which I found a few of. We then headed to Spur afterwards and grabbed some Dinner. We then headed back home and went straight to sleep because got an early start tomorrow.

Speak soon
