After the prayer meeting we got into the minibus at around 11am and headed to the Mafambisa care point.
The journey there was extremely bumpy, with quite a few pot holes in the road in some sections, but it was fun all the same.
We drove for about an hour before finally reaching the care point. There, we met the amazing care workers who volunteer at the care point. We gathered for introductions and learned everyone’s names, then we had a delicious packed lunch prepared for us by some of the team at the Hands at Work Hub.
Once the children started arriving from school we played games with them like catch and 'Duck, Duck, Goose'. It was great fun and as more children started returning from school we started to play games like 'Stuck in the Mud'.
We also played an really fun game called “Shake, Shake, Banana”. (You can watch a video of the game on the Link for Life YouTube Channel ) It was great fun and once all the children were back from school we did a few more introductions. Then the children had lunch and enjoyed pap (a starch based food made from maize meal), soup and cabbage. It looked very tasty.

As they
were eating I was able to talk to some of the children and get to know
their names.
After lunch we went to play some more games and we were having a great time. Sadly, we had to leave, in order to make our way back to our base... so we said our goodbyes at around half 3, then we left.
We finished off the day with a delicious
meal of chicken and rice that was kindly made for us by the team at the Hands
at Work Hub,
