Day 13-Hamamochochoko Mohalalitoe

We made it for the church service this week at the children’s home, Hamamochochoko Mohalalitoe. In English it’s called the Ensure Salvation Children’s Home but we learned last week that when you tell this to the cab drivers they have no idea what you are talking about. So yes it took a while but I do know how to say the Sesotho name correctly in order to get picked up at the right place! The kids were excited to have us visit again. I was walking around with some of the toddlers singing the ABCs song and “If You’re Happy and You Know It”. Really cute because they don’t actually speak much English so they just kinda say the words and don’t really know what they mean! Afterwards we took a cab to the mall and had lunch at this restaurant called Renaissance (really good food!) with one of the Peace Corp volunteers, Tam, who Erika is going to spend a few days with “roughing it” in Thaba Seka. It’s a much more rural town, you carry your own water from the pump, no electricity, and therefore no heat in the freezing cold of winter…so yeah I think I’m just fine with the Baylor Cottage! But it was interesting to hear what she’s been working on for two years and what her village is like.
