Not quite so hot and sweaty this time! it was such a lovely welcome again, and it was so special to see how it touchd michele and kelly (other vols)and it had me. fotr me it was seeing john the driver, and edmundi - watchman and new driver, baby tina's mum and tina herslef - she is just soo gorgeous and stella etc. I managed to resist hugging the guys - just - but just couldm't resist huggig those special ladies. It was like seeing family again. And onike - the quiet little girl in my std iii class last year who i now sponsor beamingat me with a smile bigger and wider than i had ever seen. lots of other children i recognised too. so many children to greet us and walk and sing with us up the mountain once again - one step, stop, another small step - stop - all the way up! Of course the singing accopanied us - drumming - mobile a\nd the iii calling.
