JANUARY 10, 2010
Our first official day off and what a full fulling day it was! We started the morning by climbing Mt. Nkhomma. We left the house at 8:00 am and the hike itself took us about 3 hours. It was extremely rocky but we all, thankfully, made it to the top without injuries, practicing some of our teamwork and group building skills along the way. On the way Jaren lost his cell phone but Katy found it on the way back down!!! Jason and I thought at some point a call to 911 would be necessary, but our breathing eventually caught up to our hearts!
We got back to the house around 1:30 and had a massive lunch of the weeks leftovers-John's shepard's pie, baked mac & cheese, vegtable curry, and of course PB&J sandwiches. Everyone was famished. Some of the group then went for an ice cream run while the rest of us just relaxed.
The late afternoon was spent at the Ministry of Hope Crisis Center. We went there to help feed the babies. Women in Malawi can leave there babies at this nursery from the time they are born until 2 years of age, where they are fed, clothed, and provided with medical attention. This has become a safe
haven for many children, as many babies in Malawi suffer from malnourishment or lack of proper care during this crucial period.
Needless to say, there is never a dull moment with the World Camp group!
Until next time....
