This morning was an introduction to the area that we will be working. We were shown around the township this morning. It is a remnant of Apartheid, where the government more or less forcibly settled the majority of the Black Population(by the way in South Africa that is just what they say). It is an interesting place, but honestly not as bad as I expected. It is similar to a really rundown trailer park. To the Hartwickians I don't think that it will scare you that badly. To those of you in Tennessee it would be similiar to the back way down the hill. The sad part is not the living conditions but the fact that around 50% of the residents are Hiv-Aids positive.
Tomorrow I will start work around 6AM . I will be working with the bakery that is in the township and helping as they deliver bread and just beginning to get a feel for the business. Please keep me in your prayers and as I will explain in the following post begin praying for Dubai.
