I thought you would enjoy reading an email I just got from Swaziland. This is from my brother Musa in Swaziland who works with the D-team (Discipleship Team) at the Care Points (community feeding centers for orphans) with AIM. The Cherish team is now working at the Care Points so this is Musa giving me an update on the girls – Hloniphile (Fufu), Phumlile, and Zabiba. If you know Musa, I’m sure you can hear him saying this and if you don’t know him…well you need to. I put the parentheses for translation.
Sisi unjani shem (“How are you”) … eish long time.. oh u can get this ” mehlo madzala” (I haven’t seen you in a long time”), I am with Hlon’phile and they are on their way to Timbutini Care point to minister 4 today… its kind of like crazy for them as they have to jump to the Bus Rank for Public (transportation)
to Timbutini which they dont have an idea… how is that sisi! I wil just take them to the bus conductors … I will make sure I get a Tip!
Anywaiz they are to Timbutini today after they went to last week with the D-Team (Discipleship Team) to introduce themselves…. I think it was of great experience for them as they were… I repeat its like they were forced to eat the liphalishi (corn meal) and emabhontjisi… ha ha ha … its like its a good meal for them as Phumlile has gained since that meal… wow for Zabiba I think she liked it coz she had an encho! Plus 3 plates, she also helped Fufu on her plate as she was not more interesed in the Liphalishi… eish these girls anywaiz I love them sisi … its only that you how girls are… girls are girls,now I wil be saying and they wil begin funa kuchama (“they need to go to the bathroom”) whiles they coul be doing that nyalo (now),eish ….. sisi agrree with me that they will bring great difference of what they wil be teaching at the CarePoints.. Ya lets shout Yes and Amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sala kahle sisi…(“stay well sisi”)
Ngiyakutsandza… (I love you)
So the girls are eating well and taking public transportation. I’ll give more detailed update tomorrow. I just laughed when i read this. Oh I miss it over there.
When you sponsor a child it not only provides a hot meal, clean water, discipleship, and basic medical care for the child, it also supports their family by inviting them through the gates of the CarePoint to receive training, discipleship and mentorship.
