Thursday July 18th
It’s Nelson Mandela’s 95th Birthday
today. My scholars made a “Happy Birthday” sign for him and we took pictures
with it and some of the bakery staff outside of the bakery. We are sending them
to ThinkImpact and they are going to send them to Nelson. It’s pretty amazing
that we are in South Africa celebrating the birthday that might be his last.
It’s raining here today and it has brought the whole
village to a halt of zero productivity. Barely anyone is on the roads. No one
seems to be doing anything. It’s funny the same sort of thing happens in LA
when it rains. Even though people have very different circumstances and many
more luxuries to aid them in dealing with rain than the people do here.
The bakers let us into a room in their bakery
because we were loitering outside in the cold having our meeting on their
porch. It was so nice of them. I bought a bag of biscuits for my scholars. It
was the least I could do. They were good but not even close to as good as my
mama’s.
