Up Country!

I arrived here on Tues. 8th /Jan. and a driver brought us up country about 100km to this town Leribe where the Help Lesotho office is. The scenery is different to anything else I have ever seen. Green rolling fields and valleys with crazy rock mountains jutting up here and there and a mountain range in the background that we will drive up into Sat. for the 5 day leadership camp with the kids. Little brick houses and roundaveles scattered randomley everywhere too. The office is a building out behind a craft center where they employ handicapped ladies weaving. Our office is 3 rooms surronded by unmown grass and grazing ponies. I was able to do a sponsorship application for two 18 year old twin sisters yesterday. Took a lot of time as they didn't speak english very well - but we will try to get them sponsors for their last year of school by the 21st of Jan. I walk 2 kms to the office from where we stay, and am looking forward to my luggage arriving today for a needed change of clothes!
