Limpopo Area and Tzaneen, South Africa

Way up in the hills of Limpopo was a little school, ages 5-15.
The Young Ambassadors came to entertain and interact with
the children.

Elder Grandpa getting is "grandkid" fix.  We really miss
our "Kids."  All of them.

The Young Ambassadors first entertained the students.

I found this very interesting.  Most behavior charts in America
look a little different from this one in Africa.  Priorities are quite
different don't you think.

Each YA brought a new, favorite book and then read it to the
students.  Even though their English was limited, they were
all spellbound.  Several choose Dr. Seuss, "O the Places You'll Go."
One of my favorites, too.

There were several groups outside as well.  I kept bringing in
children that were looking through the fence with their big brown
eyes.  So the longer they read, the more students filtered in.

We passed out suckers at the end and that made a huge hit.

The small branch in the hills of Tzaneen.

Tzaneen is the Hawaii of Africa.  It's really green and beautiful.

And it's the citrus fruit capital of South Africa.  I've never seen
such HUGE Avocados.

This giant tree is supposedly 6000 years old.  Really?!
