What did we do?
  • Home visits with the caregivers – follow up to patients on an anti-retroviral drug treatment programme, planting vegetable seeds in their gardens for them. 
  • Worked in the vegetable garden clearing the weeds, planting new seeds and watering the plants
  • Built a compost heap
  • Helped to look after up to 80 children, prepare and serve them lunch, teach them bible stories, played games with them 
  • Helped to cook lunch for the patients
  • Started up morning devotions with the staff each day, and got them leading it by the time we left
  • Laughed a lot!
  • Went on a short safari trip over the Easter weekend!
