Bridges of Hope - preparation for retreat

(follow up - added after we returned)

Bridges of Hope was sponsoring a OVC (orphan and vulnerable children) retreat the day after we were to leave for Johannesburg. We spent the day helping them get ready. Cleaning. Building Bunk Beds, and doing some handyman jobs. It was nice to have a day of labor after all the travelling and meetings.
This is a picture of Matthew, Lailani and Lynne building bunk beds.

Mike Kenyon especially liked driving the ATV and hauling beds, firewood and other materials around the area.

The land and buildings that Bridges of Hope owns are truely amazing. The kids that come there on retreat from Cape Flats are in for a real treat. For most of them it will probably be the first time they have left the township.
