Some pictures finally

I'm finally able to upload a couple pictures, so here are a few of my favorites so far in no particular order. I'm having trouble with the formatting, so from top to bottom:
This is Garden's Dr., the street in Cato Manor where I live. My house is the little sliver of green roof you can see about 2 houses down on the right. But they all kind of look the same.

This is the drive from Jo'burg to Durban when you cross from the Orange Free State into KwaZulu Natal. KZN is beautiful and the pictures don't nearly do it justice.

A terrible picture of me, but really cute of the kids :-)

I brought bubbles with me, which are a huge hit with kids. They will scream and chase them literally for hours if you're willing to play that long. This is outside Mama Busi's house, the woman in the community who coordinates our program.

This is Lou. He is Mama Busi's nephew or grandnephew or something. Its really hard to figure out how people are related here. He's 2 and super cute.

More pictures from the drive.

Two of my favorite kids in Cato. On top is Mascuto (guessing on the spelling), also known as something pronouced like pea-weh. I think she's an orphan, but lives with a family down the street. And Lou again.
