Visit from the US Embassy

Visit from the US Embassy
Friday, February 13, was a special day for the children in the rural communities of 19 and Komba. Connie Parker, the American Ambassador's wife, arrived with 150 crocheted bears to share with the children. Her message for the children was of love and comfort. Each bear was unique with multiple colors and shapes. As Mrs. Parker handed the bears to the children there was a multitude of laughing and smiles. Children hugged their bears, held them by the arms and legs, showed their bears to each other, and 1 little guy quickly figured out how to carry his bear without hands, just like his mother carried him as a baby (and how all the women carry their babies).Ah, multiple colors and shapes… sounds like a description of the innumerable ways to Live in Love. Thank you, Connie, for showing the children how you Live in Love today.

Back to Swaziland

On Friday, February 6, Lomasontfo was released from the hospital in Pretoria. Her progress and healing has been much faster than anyone expected. She is staying in Manzini, in the clinic at the Mahkolweni Care Point for the next 4-5 weeks to ensure she is receiving proper and sufficient nutrition as her healing continues. The 2nd week of March she will return to Pretoria to have the wires stabilizing her jaw cut. Lomasontfo is enjoying her time in Manzini and is even attending the school, second grade, at the care point.
