Swaziland: Big Surprise for Lee

Wow! What a day of roller coasters. We spent the day visiting four other care points in eastern Swaziland. Each community had its own unique “personality.” One by the name of Komba seemed to be more healthy, vibrant and progressive, while another, Section 19, was more in need of a community feeling. A common thread of all four sites, however, was the many children’s faces in need of love and caring and the dire poverty at each care point. The people in all of the communities manage to make the...
