Ithemba Kids
This last month I went to the Natal Midlands and whilst there spent quite a bit of time with the guys from Ithemba Projects, a wonderful group of people with huge hearts who work with children in the Sweetwaters community (http://www.ithembaprojects.org.za/). Whilst there I went along with them to a holiday project they were running in Sweetwaters and took my camera. It was great to see what they are up to hands on and I really admire what they are doing with the kids, not only academically educating but also building a foundation of strong values, in the belief that with education and good morals instilled during childhood, the community can be uplifted from within. I was touched most of all by the scincerity with which these kids got into the worship session- it was not as if they were just singing a song they learned , you could feel something more was going on, that there was real connection with what they were doing and what is was about . I was also struck by the sense of responsibility they had toward each other, the older kids really looked after and tended to the younger ones with patience and love. Here are some of the photos I took on the day…..
