R.E.S.P.E.C.T.

RESPECT is the proper word to describe this fantastic day. The whole day was completely focussed on the local bushmen. The day started with a visit to the church. Most of you now that I'm not into religions but the way these guys and boys celebrate sunday is amazing. They all sing during the session which sounds great and they were so happy with our visit that the asked a local guy (good old petrus)to translate into english. After the celebration everyone shakes hands. I see these guys during week on work, on sunday they are all dressed up but we do not even give the clothes to charity, they are wearing for sunday. These people have so less material stuff an still they are so happy and warm and they would welcome you in their home and give their last things away. This moment made me silent for a while. After the church session we did some soccer with the local boys, running in a heat on 35 degrees celsius in the shade is killing... and of course we lost :-) I also met 2 dutch girls who founded a foundation to help streetkids from Godabis (http://www.ubuntutheatre.org/), those kids wanted to play soccer with us as well and they play barefeet!!! We lost again, probably we are not so great in soccer... After the match the boys made some music for us on their drums and started dancing, I was so impressed by their skills after 2 weeks that I promptly porposed to do a donation collection for these boys, after a few minutes we could give 1500 Namibian dollars to the foundation, I'm sure they will spend it well. Tomorrow is another day probably filled with animals as 10 days ago 4 new lions were born and starting from monday I can nurse them. Anyway all is going great over here, hope you have the same at home and at CTP :-)

Love you all
