See-ahh-bone-ahh
That is the way we as Americans pronounce the name of this child. He is at our CarePoint (Moneni). Today we visited our CarePoint and he came directly up to me speaking SiSwati and pointing his little hands towards 2 stray dogs which had found their way into the CarePoint fence. I guess he was trying to tell me about the dogs, so I in turn looked him in the face and said ruff-ruff…dog..(Since my SiSwati is not good at all ) he also repeated the sound I had made for the dog. The rest of the time I was there he stayed next to me and constantly looked at me and said ruff-ruff and chased me around holding his little bowl of rice which he had not eaten. School is out for the next couple of weeks but the CarePoint still feeds the children. Each child brings a stick or piece of wood which helps when cooking the food the next day, and in turn they receive a bowl of rice and beans or Pop depending on what is cooked that day. (The piece of wood is not required to be able to eat, it is just helpful). This little boy is just one of many sweet children at this CarePoint and as we continue to serve here and oversee this CarePoint I will continue to try to post pictures and tell some stories about the children. Please continue to pray for them.
Thanks to you all...God Bless
The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children.
