The kids at Eskhaleni had a very different Saturday than what they are use to. Besides balloons and guitars, beach balls and bubbles and a whole lot of crazy fun, they had a very "American" lunch treat. We prepared 480 hotdogs for them!!! Every kid got two hotdogs, two cookies, an orange, a bag of chips and a cup of juice. We end up feeding adults from the community as well and it was a wonderful celebration. Thank you Journey for your servant hearts and pouring yourselves into Eskhaleni the past week.

On one of the home visits we did, we met a little girl who had these big sad eyes. Kids here in Swaziland are generally happy and always smiling even if they have nothing. This girl was different. She smiled once when she saw the bubbles floating by her. The ladies from Journey replaced her dirty bandage and care for her little hand that was burned. (She is the one with the yellow balloon on her head.) This girl is sweet and precious and leading a life that you and I cannot even begin to imagine. Children like these are the most vulnerable and in need of care. She touched my heart because she is someone's "little Emi".
