Weather and other stuff

It rained a bit earlier in the day and then the sun came out in the afternoon. On the way home we called at a river bank site where lots of coaches of teenagers on a school trip were stopping to play volleyball and go on a ride. I bought ice creams for 8 of us for £2.20 in total. It has been an energetic day and we feel quite tired. We are hoping that the Champions League final will be on the TV tonight

Graves

In the village of Krushe Madhe it was strange to come out of the club and straight away see the lines and lines of graves of the men of the village who were killed during 1998 and 1999. During the time of ‘ethnic cleansing’ it is estimated that 75% of the men of the village were murdered. It is very hard for the women and the children to get over all that has happened. We looked at 3 or 4 of the graves which had been recently dug as the bodies of the men had only been found and identified 3 months ago after all these years.

More Children’s clubs

Today we did a lot of children’s club! The first lot was in Eternity Church and they were really lively! I had to sing with them and then sang a song by myself. Some of them knew some English, and were able to respond to Dad when he talked to them all! The second and third one was in a small village in a little place with 2 rooms, and we did the same sort of stuff! They loved playing with the parachute and playing a ball game! The children are very welcoming and very nice to speak to them. I like the tradition of girls kissing each other on the cheek twice, starting on the right and the men hug each other. We are going to church tomorrow and meeting all the friends we have made, and Sam has made a good impression on the older guys?!
