9.14

ok so i changed the settings on here so everyone can comment.
sorry about that, didn't know it was like that.
And i fianlly got pictures up... http://www.flickr.com/photos/scottrussellgreen/

I'm in Bulembu today.
Its an old abandoned mine town that the ministries here are converting into a safe haven for those who need jobs and housing. Its quite the scene with over 1,000 abandoned homes and over 1,000 sq. miles or so. All just left behind when the miners left.
Kevin comes up here about twice a week, its about an hour from Hawane, which is where the children's farm is.
I think i will be coming up here to listen to the counselor that was at Hawane since i missed here while journeying around Swaziland with the kids..
There is wireless here so i will be able to get on more (that's the idea but stuff just seems to change).
write soon...

HEY Scot !
dude your trip sounds so cool ! you in freakin africa, biking, playing with kids, and doing really good things. I know it is probably hard to get used to not having all the luxuries of the good ol' USA but you know why youre there. Dude for real Im impressed with your decision to do this. for real . I like all you stories about how the kids like force you to do all that stuff. I used to work at a daycare and those kids seemed to have way more energy than I did.

welp, keep writing on here I love reading about your african adventures lol.

talk to you soon . Drew
