This weekend the basketball team that Luc coaches had a chance to go to its first tournament. It was actually their first time leaving the township to play basketball and their first competition. We all went along to support the team since we had been going to some of their practices. They are all high school age and unfortunately they were playing against college and men's team so it was a bit uneven. However, despite losing by 90 points in both games their attitude was great, they had a good time and enjoyed the experience. Afterwards they wanted to know how to grow taller and hopefully they gained some motivation to work hard in practice.
Friday is the kids club that Petunia organizes for the kids in the neighborhood. They first bake followed by games, songs and bible study. I'm hoping to find a way to connect with the young girls maybe another time during the week. They have their winter break coming up so pray I can find a creative way to minister to them.
Finally for lunch this week we had a South African burger in the township. It includes an average size burger on two huge thick pieces of bread and then a huge mound of fries. Quite the experience.We can cross this culture experience off the list.
