On Tuesday July 7 the team traveled to a remote village in southeastern Swaziland called Zindwendweni. We had been there once in 2014, and this year we returned for two days.
Getting to Zindwendweni required a 2 hour khombi (van) ride, the last half hour of which was on a dirt road through the bush.
On Tuesday we held our medical clinic and prayer chapel Meanwhile, two puppetry teams visited the classrooms sharing the story of Jesus healing the paralytic from Mark 2, and another team visited all the classrooms giving a lesson on hygiene and the importance of hand washing.
After the classroom visits we hung out in the school's open courtyard playing with the children. One team member brought some frisbee discs and the children -- who had never seen a frisbee before -- delighted in learning to throw and catch them.
The clinic wound down close to sunset, but they were able to see everyone who had come, to our great delight. As the sun set over the horizon, the team loaded back into the khombis and began the 2 hour journey back to the convent for supper.
