I have written a few blogs about this week on my laptop already and will hopefully be able to post them once the wireless internet is working again. For now, here's the short version.
1. The other volunteer is not here yet, for some reason she didn't have her passport, hopefully she will be here Monday.
2. We have no water. We ran out of water on Monday, had some on Wednesday and ran out again. We have a couple of containers that we are able to use, but no running water anywhere. It is a VERY complicated issue that involves things being stollen/people not telling us the city was out of water/ordering things from the USA/a hole somewhere in our line/trucks not bringing us water.
3. The power trips every. night. It generally comes back on with the flip of a switch, but scares me everytime it happens. Plus the heaters go out and it is still cold. Rough.
4. Someone cut the phone line on our driveway to steal the copper out of the wires so we haven't had phone/internet since Sunday.
5. Welcome to South Africa.
That's all for tonight.

About Me
- kbarbee
- I will be in Africa for at least the next four months, maybe the next year. I am embarking on an epic search for the things that make my heart beat fast and learning more about God in an attempt to know more about myself. Seek God. Find Love. Give it all away.

So there's no Tubing? I'm sorry to see so much hardhship coming into the lives of the children. With all they have had to suffer, it's really tough to know they must endure losing electricity, water and phone service on top of everything else, especially when we at home would take those things almost for granted. As I read your postings about the plight of the children, I'm easily reminded of the passages in Matthew and Luke. You are doing a wonderful thing by your sacrifice. Hang in there and be as safe as circumstances will permit. We all love you!
