Day 11



Bayanda, one of our security guards is a big poser, we think he could make it to the covers of Mens Health Magazine!



'Sibu the Chef', this could make a good audition photo for Ben's Mthwaku's Next Top Model.



Little Clifford Moses, who was picked up by Ben and Wendy, is now in a much better state than the first time arrived at Lulutho. Thanks to Ben's tender love!



Jeremy takes time to check how things are going back home.

Days 8-10

Our main goal on these days was to get the semi-permanent tents functional. Before this could happen the ground had to be levelled and measured- an ongoing saga because we have tried so many methods and all to no avail. Hopefully we will get this right.



Zimasile is one of our night security guards, but he is also a keen crafts man. He made this beautiful walking stick by knotting a young tree then allowing it to mature, before harvesting it for future use.



The soil under our feet here at Lulutho is perfect for making mud bricks. We will use these to construct our permanent buildings.



We have converted a room in one of the Wendy houses (wooden huts) into an office. This is where Rachel Docherty, one of our interns spends her time managing this blog.



When sunlight dwindles and some of our team members go home, the boys have their fun with the football on the lush green pastures of Lulutho.



While the girls run for their cameras and capture the moments.

Day 7



Sunday is the team's day off. While some of us relaxed at camp, others went on a Nelson Mandela adventure. They visited Qunu, Mveso and the burial sights of the Mandela family.



On the way back from Mveso (the birth place of Nelson Mandela) they encountered some local children, who were only too willing to show them their singing and dancing skills.
