Throughout the week we have been splitting up our team to make intentional connections with the kids and teenagers here. Vanessa and I are focusing our attention on the high school girls. We have done everything from MASH to Dutch Blitz to “A Day at the Salon.” All of us girls compiled our nail polish, nail files, lotion, etc. so Vanessa and I could do manicures and pedicures with the girls. They loved it.
Late tonight we had a surprise visitor. One of the oldest boys in the big Agathos family came back from university for his spring vacation. Zamani is 21 years old and studying electrical engineering at a school in Durban. Everyone at Agathos was so surprised by his visit they made a train running in and out of the cottages screaming, clapping, cheering, all while singing “he’s home, he’s home, our brother’s home” in Zulu. It was pretty nuts. Anyway, I would say Zamani is an awesome example of the difference Agathos is making in this community.
