Hanging with the kiddies and kittys….

On Friday we drove an hour plus out of Durban to Entembeni Community Centre (Pietermaritzburg) with Pastor Albert Chetty. The children are on their spring break because the school calendar has been moved around due to the FIFA world cup. Pastor Chetty runs a children’s program and had 46 kiddies attended this session. We ran a TeachAIDS session. The children ranged in ages from 5-16. The children had many comments and questions about what they thought about the video. Some said they learned many things. Some said they just liked it. All in all I felt it was a good session and the feedback was good. Pastor Chetty gave me a tour of the grounds.
After the session we went to find the wild animals. Ok, maybe they weren’t totally wild but they were in a nature reserve. We saw zebras hugging, and something that looked like a gazelle but had another name in Africana. The piece de resistance of the day….. We got to view 15 lions in their natural habitat… ok maybe they were in an enclosed area that was just for them. It was so hot that day most of them were napping and just cuddling together. We were instructed NOT to open the windows and stop the car…. Year right…. I got my nerdy camera out dropped the window and starting rapid firing. I might have done some meowing but I figure “when in Rome”. It was so fun!
