Our visit to Tshepo Ya Bana Orphanage

Today we spent the day at Tshepo Ya Bana (Hope for children), an orphanage located near Hammanskraal, South Africa. We joined other families from Black and Veatch to help deliver donations, paint and make repairs to this non-profit organization that houses orphaned children. It was such an experience for my family to participate and I am so glad that we did. We truly enjoyed the company of the delightfully happy children that live here and were welcomed by the generous staff that devote so much for these children.

 This is the cottage that an American couple and their two children live in, 
whom help run the orphanage. It was in desperate need of fresh paint.

 Hard at work. Kenley was a trooper!

Great job everyone!
