Wed. morning we were up early to get ready for a Diplomatic Wives Tea. The setting was beautiful with a white tent and pink accents around the 4 posts and over the white table clothes. One of the WEEP graduates gave her testimony and India Graft from our team (this is her 2nd year coming) spoke about what it means to her to come and work with the HEART programs. One of the HEART staff spoke about the "Freedom For Girls" program and how this keeps the girls 5th grade & above in school. The impact of keeping the girls in school is huge for future generations. As a team we spoke to the individual ladies about what we had seen and the impact it has had on us. We pray that many of these ladies will help with the programs and financially support them too.
After the tea we left for a 24 hour Safari. We really needed a short break to see how God created the animal world to co-exist! We all had paid extra for the Safari and it was an experience of a life time! We saw every animal we could think of that lives in Africa. The last animal we saw was a Cheetah eating it's morning meal of a Gazelle that it had just caught. Here is a list of other animals we saw: Loin's & 2 baby clubs, Hyaena, Hippopotamus (20 of them in a river), Elephant's, Crocodile (laying on the river bank across from our tent when we woke up on Thursday morning), 2 mother Giraffe's & 2 baby Giraffe's, Rhinoceros, Zebra's (probably close to a 500), Warthog, Wildebeast heard (hundreds of them running across the land), and Monkey's to name a few.
This week we have seen the worst living conditions man can make and the best of God's creation!
We returned Thursday evening to get ready for our trip into the last slum and our Woman's Conference on Friday.
