Edward, one of the workers at Beautiful Gate, invited us to his village in the mountains where he lived until he was thirteen years old. After driving about 2 hours and hiking for 1 we finally made it! Here is a picture of some of his relatives. Thanks Edward for a great Saturday!
Hiking in the mountains.
A boy from one of the villages in the Lesotho mountains. One boy about 3 or 4 yrs old saw my roomates and I and ran away screaming and crying because it was the first time he had seen a white person. Seeing four at one time must have been quite overwhelming :)
More kids staring at the weird looking white people.
During this time of year it gets pretty cold in the mountains and many of the children don't have shoes. When I get home I am hoping to contact Tom's Shoes and encourage them to donate shoes to the children of the Lesotho Mountains...... If you haven't heard of Tom's Shoes visit their website at www.toms.com. For every pair of shoes you purchase a second pair is donated to a child in need :).
The houses
The pictures don't do the mountains justice. They are absolutely breathtaking.
Thanks for reading, we would love read your comments!
