the title is an ode to my brother Dave :P
He is in fact in Africa, at this very moment... staying in a child headed household*, apparently not very far from the city of Nelspruit.
Working with a group called Hands at Work Africa...
I highly encourage you to check out the website. I really appreciate the mission and vision of
this group. It seems they really throw you right in the deep end though.
David hasn't even been in the country a whole week, but he will be spending the next few days
alone in a village, hopefully with some sort of interpreter as he doesn't yet know the language...
and with a list of jobs that need to be done there.
* a child headed household, is a home where both parents are missing - usually orphaned children with one older (12 year old in this case) sibling taking on the role of both Father and Mother.
I'm sure he would value your prayers and if you would like to follow his adventures he has a blog that he will update as often as he can.
