Kids Club

Today we ventured out to Deipsloot and visited the Kids Club. This is my favorite part of the trip! We talked with the kids about how they can change the world and it was inspiring. They are so confident in themselves which is something I really admire. I was with eight and nine year olds and as we were going around saying our names the kids began to declare what they wanted to be when they grow up...many said doctors, lawyers, and surgeons. I began to think of how in America we are given so many opportunities and I became so grateful for my education.  Along with that, the love and happiness these children radiate is incredible (even though we could not always speak the same language). This one girl would randomly run into me with her arms wide open and give me the biggest hug! I don't even think we exchanged words. It's incredible how much a little smile can impact someone so much! :) Needless to say we're having a great time! Much love from Africa!
