Thursday --- groundhog day

Funny how when you are in a different place, you forget what is happening back home. We totally forgot about Groundhog day. It was sunny and around 80 here in mokapane, S.A. Our activity today was to go to a center for handicapped children. They are just a day center and are hosted in a church. There were two ladies and about 25 kids. It was the best run place of any that we have visited. We interacted with them for a couple of hours--building with blocks, tossing balls, the hokey pokey and observing their routines. We helped serve Meals from the heartland, too.

After our sack lunch of PB&j we toured some other locations. There was the gas station for a bathroom, an elementary school, and another feeding center.

We were back home rather early this afternoon.

Tomorrow is a long day. We will be gone from 7am to 9:30pm. There is down time for some local shopping, another vision clinic in the afternoon and a youth gathering at night in the Capitol city of Polokwane. Woo-hoo.

Don & I had a walk this afternoon. We saw the kudu deer and the monkeys. One of the rules here is that if you let a monkey in your room, you have to do the clean up. Good night. Jan
