You can find so much in a smile….
Half day today at the park, this morning I caught up with data entry and we left the park at one. This afternoon we had our township tour, it was something extremely interesting and certainly makes you ask yourself a lot of questions. It was an afternoon that made us all think and made me quite reflective. We drove through the township to a small pre school, as soon as we walked in all the children ran to the fence to where we were and were waving and saying hello, we walked in to see them and all they wanted was to hold our hands for us to pick them up and say hello…. That’s all it takes to make a smile… quite a contrast to some children in the western world! We visited a place set up for children that are interested in art called MAD mad about art “make a difference” the work the children had done was incredible they are amazing! Visiting these places was something I was so glad to have done, seeing the Rastafarians also and an NGO set up for street kids who have no place to stay at night but can go there for food and a shower/ shelter during the day it was something I will remember for a long time. To show us a complete contrast we went up to the heads,…naturally it is a contrast the natural beauty of the heads and the human contrast the size of the houses there and the expensive cars, it was a good way of showing us the opposite end of the scale. It won’t take much to make child smile that has nothing!
