Our kids (and the folks) taught the children of the school how to play a game called Uno. The game involves matching numbers and colors.

We learned a lot at the school too. They learn three languages -- Afrikaans, English and Xhosa. They have to pay for their schooling and the transportation to the school. The country has worked to improve the township schools but it is a long road.

Above, you see Gretchen with Melinda, one of the sweetest souls we have met.

And also above, you see one of Africa's tragedies: an AIDS orphan.
