As the title indicates, the day was filled with rain. Weather in cape town is a bit sporadic. It is bright and sunny one minute and pouring rain the next. The few times the sun came out, we mixed cement and did our best to add onto the foundation. Our efforts may have been futile as I don’t think it will dry very well by tomorrow.
The good thing about the rain is that it let me spend more time with the kids. What kids you ask? There is a day care center right in the same complex as the building project. I spent time doing what I do best: acting like a kid..making funny faces and noises, lifting them up in the air to the ceiling, tying shoes, and anything else I could do to make them happy. These children crave attention and immediately latch onto you when they see you. I was told it is because they do not get it from home so they look for it from volunteers like myself. It is quite sad but I will make sure to give plenty of love the rest of the time I am here!
