Today was a VERY SPECIAL DAY for me! This was to be the day I was going to meet Nikki!!! The rest of the group were heading out to Khomba Primary School from the KMP Offices and I was leaving with Mummsi, Fikile & Pumi. First let me tell you that Mummsi is another very special lady who works at the KMP office, she heads up the part of the program that has to do with Sponsorship. Fikile is the lady who translates the letters between Nikki and I (and many others) and acts as a kind of Social Worker. It's she who goes to the sponsored child's homes to check on them, collect letters and take them anything from their sponsors, as well generally makes sure the families are doing well. Pumi also works at the office, but I can't honestly say I know exactly what he does, but on this day he drove us to where we had to go.

On the Wed. I had given Mummsi some money so she and Fikile could do some shopping for food and a cook pot for Nikki's family; I gave them about 300 rand which is equivalent to about 40.00 Canadian. I was amazed at what they were able to get, besides the cooking pot, there were a couple of large bags of rice and beans, cooking oil, flour, soup, biscui
