Hands on deck-
Today we stayed at the Hands at Work Hub all day. For the majority of the
morning, Hands on Deck consisted of a whole 'family; meeting where people shared stories
and feelings from the past few weeks. We heard about Busi`s story about her
amazing trip trough Zambia, Mozambique and Malawi. Her experiential time with
families she had connected with long ago: this along with the very interesting
bus ride to Mozambique!
Another exciting part of the morning was when we had to give
a speech about our experience so far; we spoke about several of our holy home
visits over the last few days and how the trip has impacted upon our group as a
whole. It went really well in fact we were told we should consider public
speaking!!!
Later in the day we did something that none of us were
expecting, we cooked a meal of chicken stew, pap and chaka-lacka. We cooked it
like the care-workers would do every single day, in a 'rocket stove' fashioned
out of concrete and mud... it was A LOT of work! 
We also prepared all of the potatoes, tomatoes and peppers ourselves and even lit the natural wood fire. It tasted really good and we will definitely be making it again at home.
We also took part in a scavenger hunt... our team won! This was followed by some team conducted interviews were we found out a lot about the international residents who serve here at Hands
.
We spent the rest of our day doing sports and games out on
the field. All of this rounded off with a wonderful dinner of burgers.
