 Today I did 17 more home visits, this time with Agnes in the Pata and Dambuza townships. This place was a little different than Slangspruit-- the government houses were painted, there were more fences/barb wire, many more goats and chickens-- but very similar in need. it was crazy to see beautiful, comparatively large homes right next to a mud shack.

I walked outside for 5 hours in 34 degree [93-degrees F] weather in the township of Slangspruit, outside Msunduzi. It was hot, it was humid, it was hilly, and occasionally a cow, goat, pig, or chicken would kick up some dust to stick to my balmy skin. A lack of adequate sleep and a mild case of dehydration made this a hard 5 hours, but it didn't mean I liked this experience any less.
