I have been volunteering on Fridays at Amangwe Village in the creche (day care) for the last month or so. I wash dishes, help mop the floors and play with the 30 + kids. These are children that come from child headed homes and are hungry for attention and love. Amangwe Village supplies them with 2 meals a day, and some English teaching Monday through Friday, so that their older siblings can go to school. This is definitely a cultural experience for me because all the children only speak Zulu, and the workers speak mostly Zulu, and English when they are speaking to me. I am loving it though. I am getting the opportunity to build relationships with the other ladies there as well so that is neat. I have not learned all the names of the children yet, but I am learning their faces and personalities.
Lunch Time!
Ficeelle works at the Creche, and we have become fast friends.

Feel the commotion
At the end of the day all the kids some how fit in the back of the truck to be driven back to their homes.
