Hello Friends and Family!
We’ve just returned from our hour and a half getaway to beautiful Ramabanta! We really wish you all could have seen this place; it was stunning. There are pictures below (which I hope you all have been able to view better!) but they just don’t do it justice. On the way there [...]
We’ve had a wonderful three days since we last posted. On Wednesday, the group participated in a scavenger hunt to learn the city‐village of Roma and the surrounding area. It was purposely the first time any of us were allowed to be in Roma so everyone had an equal, uninformed chance at winning. The group [...]
Hello friends and family!
The past few days here have been spent working with organizations aimed at bettering the youth of Lesotho. Our large group split into two and we went to separate sites. The next day we flip‐flopped and went to the other site. It was nice to mix things up a little and get [...]
We have had two great days in which we accomplished a lot and really began to come together as a group.
Saturday was spent at Little Angels Orphanage finishing up our greenhouse, painting and drip irrigation projects. During our group meeting on Friday night, Scott encouraged us to slow down and not be in such [...]
It’s been two days since we left Johannesburg, and man, are they excited about the World Cup! It’s not even until next summer! The bus ride to Lesotho was 8 hours long, but we made the best of it. We even saw two rhinos on the way! Eventually we got our music working and played [...]

The past couple [...]
Last night we had the chance to attend an African drumming gathering. Kennedy (mentioned in a previous post) invited us to his property for a bonfire where he showed us the basics of drumming. After he showed us the three basic beats - the bass, snare, and slap - he left us to our own [...]
Hey everyone! Thanks for all the posts and well wishes to the blog, we’ll try to keep the posts coming. We are heading into our last week here in Roma before heading off to Kruger National Park in South Africa for a Safari!
We spent Thursday and Friday at LCCU, which is a place for mentally and [...]
Hey! We all just got back from our little vacation to Ramabanta (an outdoor enthusiast’s paradise up in the mountains). The trip was incredible, you will not believe the view (pictures do not do it justice). We spent Saturday and Sunday at liesure hiking, fly fishing, and relaxing around campfires. As part of the trip, [...]
