Settling in...........

Hi

For the last 2 days I've just been getting to know the place and the people here, especially the children. Some of the children come with very sad stories/past history but the farm is a good place for them to be.
I've been asked to go and visit the women's refuge. There are a number of girls my age there, so that will be a challenge.

Communication is really difficult. I've got a South African and a UK mobile, as well as a laptop with a dongle but there's no network. I can get onto the network when we go to church but that's only for a few minutes. So I'm relying on my dad and relayed telephone conversations.

So if I don't get to update the blog very often I'm sorry.

  1. Hi Katherine,
    Keep the news coming even if it is through your Dad.
    If the children have sad stories about their past, are they still sad now? or have they been able to be happy about their future lives? They must be happy to see you anyway.
    What you are doing sounds great, we'll keep praying for you.
    God bless,
    Dave

  2. Hi Katherine - so good to hear about what you are up to. I'm sure it is a major culture shock and challenge. We are praying for you and sure you will be such a blessing to all the people you meet. TCC office isn't the same without you!
    Loads of love
