I have travelled since the age of 13, all over the world but never for a holiday. Been to India, Nepal, Romania, Netherlands, Australia, Malaysia, Mozambique, Swaziland, for missions. That means, I farmed, taught, preached, fed, played with kids, helped, grew, was humbled by what I have seen and learnt, but I finally am realising a dream in 2017 by going to the US for a holiday!

I have also bought a flat end of 2015 so hope to open my home soon.

In other news I am an ambivert, so I can be quiet when in too many crowds and talkative when I've been alone too long :) I'm a Christian, but I also believe in being open minded in terms of valuing all and being able to hear another's point. This doesn't mean you agree with everything but at least you can listen and discover and grow. There's probably more to say, but for now this is it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Playing and praying with kids who live next to and play a rubbish dump in Northern India. A friend would go teach those kids after teaching at his school so we went to support his work and ministry. There was just something about being a blessing to the least of the least. Of course everyone in my normal world when they hear India, they think slumdog millionaire. They don't imagine, beautiful, innocent expressions, humble and obedient kids, who beamed when I said Very Good in hindi for the coloured in pictures. There was little boy who had a problem in his right knee who stood in line for prayer, just when I got to pray for him we were told to go, I said I need to pray for my little boy, and even though we were walking away i kept trying to look back and find him in the crowd, but couldnt... The team said You can't pray for everyone! I said it's not everyone its my specific boy, and in my heart I prayed, please Lord let me see him again so I can pray for him. It was getting dark and we had to leave the slums... As we reached our vehicle we heard a loud noise and whole group of kids came running to wave goodbye. In that group was my little boy! we ran to each other I prayed for his knee, and it was healed. I didn't believe it so called the translator to make sure if its healed. The translator was irritated with me as the answer was still yes its healed... But they touch my hearts even more. You go to be a blessing but you are the one who returns blessed

Teach, Learn, Share

Not sure what is required here, but here are some me life lessons.

* Sometimes you have to go to grow.
* Listening and trying to understand is very rare these days, but so necessarily.
* When getting to know someone never put a fullstop at the end of the sentence, always a comma. They don't even fully know themselves, how can you box them.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm not sure how to answer this, as I didn't know what is required.
Financially I am still trying to buy all my transport for the trip, so I can only look at that when its all paid.

Prayers.
Friendship.
An Open door to my flat in Cape Town, South Africa, a ride from the airport, and as much as i can help.
