Here is a piece of her first blog from Botswana!
Today was our first day when we went out to the feeding station and saw the children at the orphanage. It was definitely an eye opening experience. As soon as we pulled into the orphanage in our cars, the kids were running to greet us! They were just full of energy and joy that I had a really hard keeping up with them! They welcomed us by teaching us several games (one seemed like duck, duck goose)! The kids were also extremely friendly and full of so much love. Everytime I got dirt on my skirt…they were brushing it off to make sure it was clean. And, everytime a piece of my hair was in my face…they would move it back for me. It just really broke my heart to see the condition they were living in and how most of the children were really thin. But yet, they praised and worshipped AND even said the Lord Prayer in English before their meal. I was able to learn a lot from them today and I am really greatful for the experience.
