Maxx and I woke up at 3AM and ate a box of mac & cheese. We washed our hands before eating and said grace. Maxx wanted to heat the water over a fire just like our home in SA.

So Thankful!
Day Ten: Goodbye
A lifetime of happiness packed into ten wonderful days! Maxx and I are thankful for the love, friends and families that immediately invited us into their lives. As much appreciation that was given to us for painting the school, we return for giving us such a wonderful, bonding and special moment in our lives.
Andrea, the Davhula family, Team Limpopo and all the children and teachers at the Matavha Primary School...Ka Vha Sale. Much Love!

Day Nine: the final day of paint and fond farewells
Unbelievable what a group of dedicated people can get done in a week. We did it, 16 classrooms, 3 murals and other touch ups. We were celebrated and included so wonderfully. Maxx does not want to leave and it was an experience he will never forget. We have missed everyone at home and look forward to coming back with many stories to tell. Lots of love. Jenn & Maxx
