So Christmas day… it turned out to be a very bright South African experience! Upon arrival, we started right away with helping Thandekile in the kitchen as she was the only one cooking for about 25 people and at the same time watching and trying to entertain about ten children! Now for the New Year!

This child-like love is radical in that, though as humans we are unable to do so, it shows no partiality. Having already attained some sort of “maturity,” what do adults have to learn from the whimsical, unhindered ways of children? Things Seen and Unseen. Avoiding certain places...

Andrew in South Africa. I served as a volunteer for a year in Bloemfontein, South Africa, through the Young Adults in Global Mission program through the ELCA.

I am an African.
