What an amazing experience for Kobus, myself and Christoph! We want to thank all 15 of you that joined us on the farm and spoiled us with your love, enthusiasm and hard work! Not to mention the laughter and great food!!! This weekend will always be imprinted into our memories! Off course the physical evidence of all the hard work will remind us of how a caravan of followers of our King and Saviour, Jesus Christ, can serve.
Although the weekend was far too short for everybody, there were time for fellowship and relaxing (just a little bit of that thoughJ) as well!
A proud team, standing in front of the (almost) finished project: 2 brand new toilets were installed in the bush! How luxurious can it get! The children will just love this!!
Mixing concrete... hard work???
Jean-Pierre’s expertise came in real handy! Thank you so much for the complete list of plumbing “spares” needed that you have provided as well JP! We didn’t have to go in to town to get a pipe or anything!! That was good planning!! But what is new from a guy like him...?!??!!!
While the men were toiling outside, the ladies were painting inside! Wow, would have taken me a couple of weeks on my own to complete what we have done in one weekend! Thank you soo much!
Thank goodness for meal times – at least everyone could take a break…!!! Thank you all for supplying and preparing great great food!! The labourers needed good food, and good food was what they received!
Kobus could share his heart on the farm with all – working with the cattle! What is the cutest – a new born calf or a baby????? Everybody jumped in to help. For some it was their first time ever to see how a calf gets thrown over, an ear tag put on and much much more!! Jordan, Jeroen and Jakes installed the solar panels on the roof while all this was happening (the guys on top of the roof below). Talk about a team effort!
And now we even have a designer fire pit on the farm!
Thanks to Louis, Leone and Christoph, sitting around the fire will be even more special!

After the first day’s hard work, relaxing next to the river brought some peace and appreciation.
Thank you all for being part of our journey. You are very special people.
The next camp with 14 – 17 boys will take place from 2 – 8 January 2012
If you want to come as a volunteer to love and serve these children, please let us know.
With love and appreciation, Kobus, Hanneke and Christoph
