I’ve been in Hillbrow for a week now and the sights and sounds are becoming more and more familiar. I normally awaken before dawn when the air is slightly cooler and the thump of minibus taxi music reverberates through the streets. My jet lag has faded and I’ve learnt the names of each of the children that come in each day. Most of them speak some English and I’m able to communicate with them fairly well. In the afternoons, I help the older children with their homework and sometimes do arts and crafts with them. As I was warned, Hillbrow is a violent area and I’ve heard gunshots and screaming at night and witnessed a street fight from my flat window yesterday. These people need God and I continue to pray that He will use me while I’m here. Thank you for your encouraging comments and prayers, which mean more to me than I can say. Until tomorrow. Sav.
