<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">January 9th, my husband and I landed in the stunning, warm Kona, Hawaii to embrace an experience that changed our lives. I have the honour of being named a 2018 Bakken Invitation honouree. The Medtronic Foundation program honours 12 individuals from around the world who have overcome significant health challenges and now dedicate the “extra life” we’ve been given – thanks in part to medical technology – to drive positive change in our communities. This year, we were honoured to meet Eduardo (Brazil), Giovanna (Italy), Amber (USA), Komal (India), Christine (Uganda), George (Tanzania), YonWoo (South Korea), Roland (United Kingdom), Ashley (Australia), Dan (Romania), Rui (China) and their partners, friends and family. You can read each of their profiles <a href="http://www.foundation.medtronic.com/us-en/index/civic-engagement/bakken-home-page/bakken-invitation-program-outcome2.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">I was honoured for the work I have done with my "extra life". I was a crash start onto dialysis in 2008, with no prior knowledge to my hereditary kidney disease. Within 24 hours I started hemodialysis and stayed in centre for three weeks to stabilise. Once I returned home, I dialyzed 5hrs in centre, three times a week. After receiving education about different modality options, I decided to have another surgery so I could do peritoneal dialysis at home. I did peritoneal dialysis in my bed while I slept for eight hours a night. During that time, my mother was worked up to see if she could be my kidney donor. With many trips to St. Joseph's Hamilton transplant appointments, stress tests, cancer tests, ultrasounds, blood work, she found out she was a match!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">December 2017, I was approached by the <a href="https://transplantambassadors.ca/" target="_blank">Transplant Ambassador Program</a> (TAP) and asked to be the Provincial Coordinator for a research program that connects kidney donors and kidney recipients to people living with kidney disease and kidney failure to break down barriers and provide mentorship and hope to patients and families in 26 renal hospitals across Ontario. Our goal is to increase living kidney donation in Ontario by 20% by 2021 by providing patients and families access to education, mentorship and support in navigating the complex renal healthcare system. Since January 2018, we have had over 65 donors and recipients dedicate their time and knowledge to have over 1600 meaningful interactions with patients and families. </span></div>

When visiting the hospital, we learned that there is a warm crockpot full of face towels. Every day, front line staff and patients are given a warm face towel with essential oils dropped on it to place on their face to breathe in, and create a small moment of calm.</span></li>

The award ceremony was an evening filled with magic. As we walked into the room, there was a tunnel of people on each side of us clapping and cheering for us. It was truly beautiful to get to hear everyone's inspirational stories. I am so grateful to Earl Bakken and all of the medical interventions that exist to have given these remarkable people their "extra life".

It will challenge you, it will push you and it will change you.<br />
<br />
In my travels I have worked on many projects and seen many things that have both broken my heart and given me great hope for the future. I have met kids who have come from being dropped in a dumpster to now being healthy, happy, silly children. I have met teenagers who have come from raising their siblings from a young age to now finishing high school grades at the top of their class. The growth in children when they are given a chance to be just that, a child, is remarkable. Children are resilient, they are bright and they are simply waiting with open arms for someone to pick them up, bring them into their lives and hearts and give them a chance.<br />

If you have followed this blog, you will have met several of the children supported through Bracelet of Hope. Bracelet of Hope supports six foster homes throughout the Northern region of Lesotho, in partnership with the Apostolic Faith Mission Development Division. Each one of these 38 children has a story that is both remarkable and gut wrenching.<br />

This past trip to Lesotho, I was joined by a remarkable team of seven to meet the children, support painting and restorations of the foster homes, and to journey into the beautiful mountain kingdom. This group came together from different walks of life for two weeks to become a team of strong, brave givers. Together we painted, cleaned, played and learned. This team was stretched to their limits, they sat in the dirt, they climbed mountains, they hugged and played with the children, they sang, shared food, and opened their hearts to support the orphans in our foster homes, and to create a better life for them.<br />

Part way through the trip, we packed up our van with buckets of paint, cleaning supplies and a hockey bag full of shoes, education materials, feminine hygiene products and clothing for our kids. We were on our way to do some work on a foster home in the Maseru district while the kids were at school.<br />
<br />
We arrived in the morning and unloaded the van. Our goal was to paint the foster mother and children's bedrooms and do as much cleaning as we could to support this foster home. The mother at this home had recently been cleared of her cancer. It had been several months of her needing a support foster mother and time to rest as she fought cancer. It was a bright, beautiful morning and we were greeted with new, adorable puppies their dog had just had.<br />

We walked into the home and did an inspection of the rooms we were going to paint. The foster mother's room was first, we had to clear several boxes and move the bed and closets to make room to paint the walls. The girl's room was next, which had two bunk beds and a single bed, as well as a closet. The room was very tidy and the girls had kept it in great condition. We then moved on to the boy's room.<br />
<br />
When I walked in I could immediately see the room was dirty, there was an odour and bugs in the room. We began moving things in the room to start painting, touching the blankets and realized that they were dirty to the touch. As I pulled the blankets off the beds, I pulled one of them up and saw a bowl. I then pulled the mattress foams apart and found two more bowls. The bowls had old food inside of them, and this was the root cause of the smell and bugs.<br />
<br />
I proceeded to pull off all of the blankets and with our team, we hand washed every blanket in the bath tub from the boys' room. The other half of the team went in and swept, wiped down the walls, opened the windows and painted the bedrooms. The paint created more bright, clean and inviting rooms. It is phenomenal what a few coats of paint can do to transform a home.<br />

As we washed the blankets, I wondered why this young boy had kept bowls of food in his bed. Was he not getting enough food? Was he being bullied? Was he afraid to eat in front of people? Why did he hoard this food?<br />

You see, it is important that when we take in orphans off the streets and out of vulnerable situations that we care for their physical needs, ensuring they are well fed, have a safe roof over their head and receive education and health care, BUT it is also critical that we provide for the emotional needs of these children. That is one of the great challenges.<br />
<br />
Many of these children are coming from places where food is scarce, they have lost their parents and have been left to fend for themselves, some as young as toddlers. The scarring that is left behind from them having to fight their way to survive, alone, and afraid goes deep. It is our job to provide them with a happy, safe, healthy home where they can begin to heal and understand that they are safe, they are loved, and they no longer have to fight to stay alive. They have come to the foster home to stay, to have a mother to care for them, food in their bellies and to reclaim their childhood.<br />

<br />
After a day of c<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">leaning and painting, I sat down with our social worker and discussed the bowls in the bed. He told me this is not the first time this has happened, and it may not be the last. This young boy's single mother passed, leaving him with extended family. His extended family did not have the resources or capacity to care for him, so they abandoned him. He would often sleep outside his extended family's homes after they had rejected him. Out in the world somewhere, he also has siblings, but they have been separated. He is aware he has family and cannot comprehend why they don't want him. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">He is a very angry little boy, desperate to belong and he is simply protecting himself. When you are used to having to think ahead, not knowing when your next morsel of food will be coming, it makes sense to save every last bit of food you can. By hoarding and hiding food in his bed, he feels comforted that even if food runs out at the foster home, he will always have enough to survive. Food is a basic human need. He has been through trauma that has forced him to rely on his survival instincts. He is not being lazy or rebellious by sneaking food, he is simply exhibiting his survival instincts. This insecurity of lack of food has developed over years and it will take time for him to trust that at the foster home, there will always be food available.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">With a lot of love, trust, and patience, we will work towards helping him heal. Our social worker has sat down with him many times, taking extra counselling sessions with him. He is also now engaging him in an activity he loves- art. He draws stories, feelings of anger, fear and inner thoughts. The drawings are helping him express his feelings and thoughts. It has started to open up a space for talking, and that's a start. This issue of food hoarding and desperation to belong will not be cured over night. At age fourteen, he has endured more than most adults in this world could ever imagine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I often tell stories of our children who have come from horrific circumstances who are now thriving and growing in positive ways. That is the ultimate goal of course. However, sometimes it takes longer than a month, a year, or even five years. Sometimes, the traumas that these children have endured last a lifetime. The counselling and support that our social worker and foster moms give to these children is an ongoing struggle. We do this work because it desperately needs to be done. It is ongoing and it is challenging. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I tell these stories because I am desperate for you to know what kinds of struggles we face when supporting orphans. We stand up for these kids, we tell their stories, we fundraise for these kids, we wash their dirty blankets, we hold them tight. Every penny, every soccer game, every storybook matters. Children need love and they need support. Every small amount of heart, of money and of care you give, truly does make a difference in their lives. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Situations like these can break you. They can make you have a hard time believing that the world is good, and that good things can happen. I choose to take on these challenges and use them as fuel to keep going, as a reason to continue to fight for these kids. And for that reason, without hesitation, I ask you today, will you join me in washing their blankets, funding their education, feeding their bellies and helping to ensure that one day, not a single child has to endure the tragedies that these kids have felt? Help us give them the bright future they deserve.</span><br />

<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">I have
missed a couple days of the blog. In the last few days I met with SOS
Children’s village, who have same struggles as us, want to discuss a
partnership, fundraising together, support one another. We went to Rotary Club,
discussed the Global Grant, the successes and the needs for the future. A Rotary
member wanted to take us to the cultural show he had created, so went for a
visit to see historical artifacts of Lesotho and clothing.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">I received
my Basotho dress today, we need to do some alterations but they were so proud
and so happy about the dress. It is beautiful! I went to the nun’s convent as
well to chat and catch up. One is 87yrs old, she has broken her leg, was in
cast for 5 months. One of the nuns I met last year has passed away, same month
and year as her sister, she had to decide if she would go to her “spiritual
sister” or mother’s child funeral. We also talked about politics, Donald Trump,
kings, chiefs and parliament. </span></div>

the evening, we went to Samuel’s house for dinner and had a fantastic meal. It
was so nice sitting with family, and getting to enjoy little Bohale. She is now

was thinking about my dad as I look up in the sky. He taught us how to find the
constellations and if we were every lost, to follow the North Star. I think he
would love the Lesotho stars. It makes me feel so far from him and my family

of succulents and lovely flowers. I adore succulents. Inside the house was warm
and inviting, with more plants throughout the home as well. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">We began
upstairs in the office to do some training for Quicken software, bookkeeping
records and reports. We tried to put the new Quicken on ‘Me’s new computer but
unfortunately we could not. We spent some time trying to figure it out and
eventually decided to bring it to the computer shop. We then went through how
to create a report for all of the expenses and revenue that comes in to AFMSDD
through Bracelet of Hope, fundraising, government grants, or the income
generating activities. We went through some basic excel training, some good
formulas to use and created a template we all felt would be the best to track
on a month to month basis.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">We
discussed some of the hardships in business such as a difficulty to even be on
the internet. In Lesotho, Vodacom has monopoly with one other company over all
of the phone and data in the country. It can be expensive to even use a small
amount of data, so if you do not know exactly what you need right away, it can
be troubling, as your data can run out quickly. Pastor James explained that
sometimes small issues like this can lead to bigger problems in Lesotho. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">We spent
quite some time doing bookkeeping and record training until our bellies were
grumbling and we decided to have some lunch. We had delicious rice, vegetables,
pumpkin and chicken. We discussed pies in Canada, especially pumpkin pie, and
the magic mixture that is cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves. We talked about
the cold Canadian winter, and deceiving the sun can be in Canada at times in
the winter. When the sun is out in Lesotho, you can know you will find warmth,
but in Canada, we can have sunny days at -20 degrees!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had a wonderful discussion about things we

approaching the later afternoon so we headed out to Tlhakuli. I believe this is
the most beautiful foster home of all. The home is on the way up the mountains
and overlooks such beautiful scenery. We drove down some very rocky terrain,
and it reminded me of when I was in Kenya, and our driver Boniface used to say
that off-roading were better roads than the roads. As we drove towards the
home, we saw children on their way home from school and the screamed and
laughed as the Lekhooa took photos! One of the children was so excited that he
ran alongside the car as we drove away! It was adorable. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">We
continued to drive along until we reached the bottom of the hill where Tlhakuli
home is. We then climbed up the side of the mountain for about 5-10minutes.
When we reached the top, ‘Me was waiting for us, as was one of the boys. The
other boys were down playing near a pond. ‘Me called for them and they call
came up. We began playing with the skipping rope, balloons and bubbles, as at
the other homes. I also brought some small cars for the boys to play with, and
they attached their balloons to the back of the toy cars. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">I then went
to interview the Foster Mother, ‘Me. One thing that struck me was that she is a
foster mother of four boys. I asked her what it was like to only have boys, and
she said she does miss having girls around, as they tend to help more, but one
of the little boys, Sello, is extremely helpful. He loves to cook. She said
that he will peel and chop the vegetables, help cook the dinners and clean up
afterwards. He has even begun to start dinners without her. She said she wants
to raise strong, helpful boys that will become wonderful men. She is doing a
good job of that.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">After the

electricity at Thlakuli so they must do everything by fire and candlelight,

doing either “well”, “good” or “very good”. I told them they should be proud.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">We
continued to play for some time until it was time to leave. I then told them I
would see them at church and made my way down the mountain.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">We returned
to Pastor James & ‘Me Matsepo’s house for a lovely dinner. We sat down with
the two of them, Samuel, Ntate Machefo and ‘Me Puseletso and the girls ate in
the living room. We enjoyed some spaghetti noodles with vegetables, beef and to
my absolute joy – a fresh green salad from their garden of lettuce, cucumber
and tomato! I have not had much salad since I’ve been here so it was so lovely
to have. We chatted for some time, and enjoy the company.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">I had a cup
of tea and had a Skype call with our Board Chair, John. He told me that he had
escorted the Prime Minister, our MP and Mayor around Linamar and got to tell
them about Bracelet of Hope as well! What an opportunity! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">Today I
also learned a new Sesotho word- Mochochonono – which means a shooting star. I
think it’s my new favourite word. Say it- Mo- cho- cho- no- no. See? Wasn’t
that fun! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">After
dinner Pastor James and ‘Me Matsepo drove me home and we talked about snakes
and lizards and childhood pastimes. It has been wonderful getting time with
them to get to know them and spend some family time. It’s difficult to travel
alone because you end up eating a lot of your meals by yourself. It’s quite
amazing how much a dinner with a family can fill up your soul, along with your
belly. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">After they
dropped me off I boiled some water to wash my dishes, and had a nice chat with
my mom. It’s great to be able to talk to her from here, she is one of the most
positive and encouraging people you would ever meet, and she’s always trying to
think of ways she can further help people. We had a great chat and I told her I
needed to go, as I was going to wash my hair.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">This may
sound silly, but I had been putting it off as the water in the taps is not
working, so I washed my hair in buckets tonight. I boiled water and mixed it
with cool water and washed my hair in the bucket! It was great to get a clean
head of hair finally! Look out curls, here they come!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">I listened
to some NPR podcasts and decided to read before bed. My time here is coming to
an end, and as much as I miss my family at home, I have a family here as well;
the foster mothers, support workers, Samuel and the Mpakanyane family, Pastor
James and ‘Me Matsepo, ‘Me Mahlompho and Andy, the wonderful people I have met
along the way, and of course, the babies. If I could scoop all of them up and
put them in my suitcase they’d be home by Wednesday with me. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">People
often ask me if it’s hard for me not to want to adopt them all. On one hand,
yes of course, these are remarkably strong, funny, beautiful babies here, but
on the other hand, no. I get to see that the foster homes here are providing
these children a better life. They have a family, a mother, friends,
schoolmates, a life here. They get to live under the beautiful Lesotho sun,
amongst the mountains that touch the sky, with some of the greatest people I
have ever known. So, my answer is yes, it’s hard to say goodbye, but I leave
with a full heart knowing that these children are succeeding, they are happy
and most importantly, they are loved. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">Tomorrow I
am going to visit the last foster home. It is truly bittersweet. I miss my
husband but don’t want to leave my Basotho family.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Today was a
wonderful day. I was picked up by ‘Me Mahlompho and we drove into town to meet
a dressmaker. I was so excited I woke up around 5am and could not get back to
sleep. When we arrived in town we went to the dress shop and I had my
measurements done. As the dressmaker was writing down my measurements she asked
what my name was. I went to spell out my name and ‘Me Mahlompho said “what is
your Basotho name?” I did not have a name other than my Canadian one. So ‘Me
turned to me and said, I am giving you your Basotho name. You are named ‘Me
Malerato. Malerato means mother of love. I was so proud, honoured and grateful
to have such a beautiful Basotho name. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: start;">We finished the measurements and walked up the way to a fabric shop where I saw beautiful oranges, pinks, blues, greens, every type of pattern and colour you could imagine. It was like I walked into Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory but could only eat one thing. So hard to decide! We looked at the pinks and the blues and decided on a beautiful dark blue colour. We also picked a pattern for the dress that will have covered buttons and a length to just below my knees. I am thrilled to have a traditional Basotho dress! </span></div>

Mahlompho and I said goodbye to the dressmaker and made our way down the
streets. We stopped in a shop that sold Basotho blankets and I bought another
one. This one has Lesotho hats on it and it’s the most beautiful one I’ve seen
yet. We then made our way to the Shoprite to purchase some sugar, water, and
other things. She picked up some peanut butter for Andy and I grabbed some
cinnamon to make French toast. </span></span></div>

in another taxi and made my way back to the White House. When I got back, I
pulled out bread, milk, eggs and the cinnamon. I whipped up some French toast
for my lunch. I have been missing my husband and I think he makes the best
French toast, so I decided to make some to remind me of home. I also brought
Canadian Maple Syrup for Pastor James, Samuel, ‘Me Mahlompho and the
housekeeper. I had one extra so I opened it and used it on the French toast. It
was delicious.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

to hear from the Ministry of Health so we decided to stop in and see if we
could talk to someone. We met with two people, one lady who suggested that
Bracelet of Hope writes a letter of intent to the Ministry of Health with our
aspirations of mobile health units, and the other, a gentleman in statistics
who is working on getting us a list of all the private and public AIDS clinics
in Lesotho. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

stopped into the mall to see if the computer was ready for training ‘Me Matsepo
and headed up to Lithoteng. I was so excited to see those children. When I
arrived I hugged them and said my hellos. I brought them some small gifts and
feminine hygiene products which they were happy to have. Last time I was there
they told me that teachers only give them pencils, and they don’t know why.
They wanted pens. Only adults write with pens. This trip I brought a full bag
of all different colours of pens and they were so happy. <br /><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

interviewing our amazing foster mom, ‘Me Masentle, and just like many of the other
foster mothers, she could not tell me something that she wanted for herself.
She wanted fencing and a new fridge for the home. You see, many of these women
think mainly of the children. When I asked why she wanted to be a foster
mother, she said that she felt it was her calling to help children in need who
have no one to support them. I asked her what makes her happy and she told me
reading the Bible and singing. I asked her to sing for me, and she smiled big
and began to sing. I could tell it made her happy, as her eyes sparkled.</span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I gave Samuel some spelling flash cards to practice English. They were so quick to read this level of flash cards but loved the challenging words. The word "though" was a tough one. He went through the entire deck, and the girls laughed and cheered at each word they got correct. Several times they would shout and say "too easy"!</span></span><br />

stayed overnight at their place, and they were hoping I would again. Every home
I go to, it is difficult to leave. I live to see these children, how they are
doing, how their schooling is and to know about their lives. I gave them very
big hugs and told them I would see them in September again. I wish I could have
spent more time with each of them. Every time I come I feel that I need days
and days just to learn about their lives, and what their struggles are.</span><br />

was here, Itumeleng was doing school from home and she was very lonely and
wanted to be in school with other children her age. This time, I have found
that she is now attending school on site. She was very happy to tell me that,
and to show me her school uniform. She took off her uniform and came back out
in a Mickey Mouse t-shirt that we purchased her for Christmas. Her smile was huge and it was everything to me. That is what I love best about my job, the progress. Knowing that when I go back to Canada and host events, write grants, do social media campaigns, speeches, monthly donor blasts, even paperwork that it is all going towards making a better life for these kids. Day by day, each dollar we raise goes towards lifting these children into better lives.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

seeing the growth in our children, and knowing that their lives are
truly improving. The gardens are growing well at Lithoteng and we
hope to have chicken layers in the future to support
sustainability. As we drove away, once again, I had a lump in my throat and put
on my handy sunglasses. It is so hard to say goodbye to the children.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

we made our way to ‘Me Puseletso’s home. We chatted about many things, and she
showed me photos and videos of ‘Makhauta dancing, smiling and being silly. They
call ‘Makhauta “khauta” which means “gold”. ‘Me has told me that she was in the danger zone when she first came to their home, and she was very skinny, on
the verge of death. We have almost lost ‘Makhauta many times due to her disease. Since
living with Ntate and ‘Me, she has gained weight, and at her last check up just
a couple weeks ago, they told us that she is a very healthy little girl!!!!! </span></span><br />

eaten since French toast so when I arrived home around 8:30pm, I reheated some
left over spaghetti I had made the night before, scarfed it down and headed to
bed. When I went to wash my hands I realized that the taps had run dry. It was
time to get some water from the tank outside. I was told to make sure I kept a
couple buckets in case it happened, as, “that’s Lesotho”.<br />

Tonight, I fall asleep grateful for my new Basotho name, and the ability to see
these remarkable children grow. My heart is full of "LERATO" (love).<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">This
morning I woke up and got ready for a day at church. Church here is much
different than churches I have been to at home. Generally, in Canada the
service is about an hour to an hour and a half including music. Today I was
picked up around 9:30am to drive to the Apostolic Faith Mission in Buthe Butha and
arrived home around 3:30pm. When I arrived, the church was just beginning to
fill up but as we walked up the dirt road I heard the music loud and clear.
Basotho are remarkable singers, very talented musicians and make you want to
dance (they are also wonderful dancers).<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">I walked
into the church and was ushered to sit near Pastor James and ‘Me Matsepo. I
stood up and danced along to the beautiful music that was being played, took
some photos and the church began to fill up. I met a lovely woman who told me
she just turned 82 and that she was the wife of the Pastor before Pastor James.
Music continued for some time, with beautiful voices belting out high notes. As
I looked across the church, I saw Mamokhele. She stood out in the crowd in a
remarkable way. She was wearing a red dress with red lipstick. At that moment
she went from the silly girl I knew, to a stunning young woman. As
in everyday of her life, she was shining bright in the crowd. She stood out in
the best way. </span><br />

Then, Pastor James took the microphone and the attention of everyone. He is a
very animated, powerful speaker. He raises his hands, he walks around the
stage, he calls upon people, he sings, he shouts and he holds your attention. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Before he
began preaching, he welcomed me from Canada and thanked Bracelet of Hope for
our work. He spoke for some time about how when he began, he had a calling to
do something for the children who were left behind. It started with him looking
for land and buildings, but the man who he was asking in Tlhakuli was asking
far too much in rent. Hours after he had spoken to him, someone called to offer
their abandoned homes which simply needed new thatching of the roofs. After the
roofs were thatched, he looked for mattresses. He wanted new, good mattresses
for the children but when he arrived to look at prices, those too were a lot of
money. When asked how many he needed, he told the owner he needed 35, and the
owner donated all of them to him. He said through his faith that God would
provide for the children, many things came together, and eventually he met a
doctor, named “Doctor Anna Marie” who visited Lesotho and together they began
to partner to form what is now known as the Bracelet of Hope and AFMSDD Foster
Home projects. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">He said
when he arrived at Lerobane and watched ‘Me Candice play with the children, he
was so grateful and happy to see how far we have come from the days of hoping
and praying for Tlhakuli and mattresses. He looked back on all of the struggles
and hardships it took to get to where we are today and is proud and happy for
the homes, the children, and the support we have now. As he spoke, I looked over and saw little Ntaoleng smiling in the corner with the Sunday School children.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

to tell the story of the man with leprosy and how the lepers were outcasts of
society, thought to be dirty, contagious and dangerous. When Jesus came upon
the leper, the leper put out his hand and asked Jesus “are you willing?” He was
asking if he was willing to touch him, to support him, and to heal him. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Pastor
James went on to discuss that living with sickness is not God’s will. If you
are sick, it is not because God wants you to be sick. You have not been chosen
by God to be sick. He does not want you to own your sickness, but rather give
it to God, and have faith that you will be healed. Jesus reached his hand out
to the leper and healed him on the spot. Pastor James talked about always
thinking in that way, what would Jesus do?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">This makes me
think of the work that the many doctors and nurses were doing in the beginning
of the outbreak of HIV and AIDS. Many people feared that just by touching
someone with AIDS you could become sick and die. Men and women died from the disease and it
spread across the world causing devastation wherever it went. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">It took brave, caring individuals to reach their hands out and say, I will do
my best to heal you, to support you, to save you from this disease and not
ostracise you like the community has. Because of those doctors and nurses,
today in Canada and in many places around the world we have remarkable health
care, drugs and support for people living with HIV and AIDS. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">In Lesotho,
the population living with HIV is about 1 in 4. This has left a tenth of their
population as orphaned children. In a country of only 2 million, this means
that 200,000 children are orphaned, that is larger than the population of the
entire city of Guelph. UNAIDS reports that 36.1 million people are now living
with HIV/AIDS, over 13 million children have lost one or both parents to AIDS
and nearly 22 million people have died of AIDS related causes since the
epidemic began. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">UNAIDS are working collaboratively towards a 90-90-90 solution by 2020.
This 90-90-90 goal means that 90% of the population on earth will be tested,
90% of the population will be treated and 90% of people who are HIV+ will have
an undetectable viral load, meaning the anti-retroviral drugs are being taken
to suppress the disease to an undetectable amount in the body, making people able to live long, healthy lives.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">As I think
of the millions who have died, and the many who are still living in Lesotho who
either have not been tested, or do not have access to the anti-retroviral
drugs, it gives me fire in my heart and a kick to stand up and do something. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">We are
currently caring for the aftermath of this disease by supporting the orphans
left behind, but we need to do more. Together as people, we need to stand
together and look to the countries around the world who do not have the same
access to health care and drugs. How do we prevent this disease from taking
brilliant minds away from us? How do we prevent this disease from taking our
women and children? How do we prevent this disease from taking moms and dads
and leaving more orphans behind? <br />
<br /><br />
We come together. We act. <br />
Support organizations who do on the ground, difficult work. Volunteer your
time. Educate yourself. <a href="http://www.globalgoals.org/" target="_blank">Read about the Global Goals.</a> Read about the <a href="http://www.unaids.org/en/goals/goals" target="_blank">goals of UNAIDS</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

very easy to think about HIV and AIDS as a disease that is almost cured,
because in Canada, we benefit from remarkable healthcare, but there are places
all over the world where some of those 36.1 million people do not have the medication or support to sustain life. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

goals of 90-90-90 are not lofty. They are very realistic but it will take hard
work. It will take people reaching out their hands and saying, YES! I can do
something! You do not need to be a doctor, a pharmacist or a development
worker. You just have to have the drive in your heart to decide that you have
something to give back to a disease that truly can be eradicated in our
lifetime.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">I woke up
so excited today! Samuel, his brother Sello and sister Lineo are picking me up
and they are going to show me “real Lesotho”. They picked me up this morning,
and we drove to a grocery store to get snacks for the road trip. We picked up
some bananas, apples, water and chips. Then Sello said he was going to get some
“fat cakes”. He came back with two bags of these tiny little balls of dough
that were deep friend. They call them fat cakes because when you eat them, they
make you fat! They are delicious, and I can absolutely understand why you would want to eat a whole bag!</span></div>

<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">As we drove, we told stories about our childhood, our families, our interests and
laughed from deep down in our bellies. It felt like we had been good friends
for many years. We began driving into the stunning highlands. Massive mountains
covered in greenery, so tall they touch the sky. I was told we were over 3500M
up. We drove through the beautiful mountains, we stopped to take photos near a
natural waterfall and continue to drive up, up, up. </span></div>

Twisting and turning
through the vast green mountains, we tried to keep track of the turns but
stopped counting as we were quickly enamoured by the beauty around us. We
passed by herds of sheep on the side of the mountain, rondavels, all through a
cloudless sky. In my visits to Lesotho I have yet to see a cloud any day here.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">We drove by
small thatched roof huts that housed herd boys during the winter. They told me
that during the cold times, they stay inside and have a Thokolosi outside to
protect them. A Thokolosi is an evil, nasty spirit which stays outside the hut
and protects the boys and the herd from predators and people trying to harm or
steal their cattle. The legend is that the Thokolosi is a domestic spirit,
usually small, who can be summoned by witches to bewitch you, inflict illness
or even death if you cross paths. Most adults have never seen one, but they
have shown themselves to children. We discussed different beliefs of witches,
fairies and demons and how different people believe in different entities
depending on their traditions and upbringing. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">We drove
all the way up the Maloti mountains to visit the Kapoko Snow & Bike park,
which hosts the Sky Restaurant, the highest restaurant in Africa at 3010M. We
wandered the beautiful grounds, looking at the cabins, the ponds and beautiful
sky. </span><br />

<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">We then went inside the restaurant and had some cappuccino and great
conversation. As we were leaving, a DJ was setting up their equipment because
the resort was going to host a party that night. It was neat to see the DJ
equipment for this resort, as at home I DJ. They were very shocked to hear that
I DJ, which began a wonderful ongoing conversation throughout the day of us
sharing music back and forth. </span><br />

<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">I learned about Black Coffee, 340ML and Kommander
Obbs. I also learned that Sello is a very talented musician and poet. He played
us two of his songs and he has a beautiful voice, and lovely lyrics. I played
them some of my favourite songs as well, including some Alanis Morissette, Rage
Against the Machine, Jimi Hendrix, Florence and the Machine and others. They had also never heard of the King of Rock & Roll, Elvis Presley! It was so amazing! I played them Hound Dog and Jailhouse Rock. We
discussed playing instruments, talked about drums and I thought I should play
some Rush for them as well. They also like house music so I played some White
Panda and Zeds Dead for them, which they enjoyed. I loved hearing the Lesotho
music and sharing different tastes. Music tells so much about a culture and it
truly brings people together. Sharing songs in the car was a great way to pass
the time and get to know one another. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">On our way
down the mountain we stopped at the Malibamatso River, a beautiful little river
where we washed our hands, admired the clear river and skipped some stones
across it. We stopped to see another natural waterfall along the way and took
photos like we were drinking from it. I stood on top of the guard rail to take
a photo with it. We then posed like we were all in a clothing magazine ad and
had a good laugh. The sun was shining so bright and it was truly good for the
soul. Fresh air, sunshine, mountains, waterfalls, we couldn’t have asked for a
more beautiful trip. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

We
continued our way down the mountain until we reached the Liphofung Historical
Centre and caves. It was truly stunning. I don’t know if I’ve used the words
“wow” “beautiful” and “stunning” more in one day trip!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">The
Liphofung Centre was incredible. There were tiny roundeval huts as we walked
through, and in each one of them we got to learn about their traditional ways
of cooking, grinding maize, see musical instruments, see their traditional
weapons, the spears, hatchets and shields.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

continued down long flight of rocks, across a bridge and over a deep trench. In
the trench there was another natural waterfall that went deep down. As we
walked further and further, we made our way into the caves where King Moshoeshoe
lived for over six months. He left because of a war between some of his tribes.
The caves were beautiful. They had fresh water, birds nesting, large trees,
openings that looked onto the mountains and plants growing from the ceilings.
It was its own natural ecosystem. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

We
continued to drive down the mountains to the ‘Muela Dam. The dam is situated in
the middle of several large mountains, with a massive amount of fresh water.
This dam is part of the Lesotho Highlands Water Project. The goal of the
project is to grow the fish farming, create hydro and sell the fresh water to
South Africa. The Khatzi and ‘Muela Dams are phase one of the project.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">We had
hopped out of the car and walked down to the edge of the hill to look over the
dam. We learned that the dam produces a ton of water and when it rains it
sometimes overflows so high it begins to creep up the side of the mountains. It
was truly beautiful. As the sun was setting we looked over the ‘Muela Dam and
across the way there were children playing soccer on a small part of the flat
land, unaware that anyone could see them, excited for the play and friends. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">On the dark
drive back I kept looking out the window admiring the stars. In Lesotho, there
are few lights from the houses or street lights, so the sky is crystal clear to
see the stars. It is magical. As a child, and now as an adult, I love to lay on
my back on the grass up North near the cottage and try to find the big dipper,
the North star, and any constellations I can recognize. The unique thing about
being in Lesotho is that I get to see a whole new version of the night sky. You
cannot see the North Star but you can see the Southern Cross here. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

say thank you and please and are always willing to lend a helping hand. We
smile and laugh whole heartily with our bellies. We love our babies deeply and
we hope for the best future for the next generations. We have big eyes and big
hearts, and we see the world as a place of opportunity that is ours for the
discovering. As I drove back with Samuel, Sello and Lineo looking at the stars
and sharing stories and song after song with one another, I was so grateful to
have such wonderful new friends on the other side of the poles. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I woke up
from the crazy rooster this morning around 4am. For some reason they like to
crow to the other roosters and get the dogs barking. I am now wide awake with
no way to get back to sleep. So, I picked up kobo and began to read. Here’s
hoping I can fall back asleep. I ended up sleeping for a couple hours and woke
up around 8am. I got ready, ate some banana and headed out into the sun. It is
so funny, whenever I speak to Basotho they say “it is getting so
cold”. Today it is a bright 23 degrees outside. I have sported a t-shirt every
day since I have been here, and I have often seen people dressed in sweaters
and light jackets. I remember last trip, ‘Me Mahlompho would always sit near
the fire in the bar to warm up.</span></div>

around I met three young girls who were in highschool, they were on their lunch
break. I walked with them for a while and talked about their lives. They asked
me where I was from, and I said Canada. They said “so far! Why are you here”,
so I told them about Bracelet of Hope and AFMSDD and our foster homes. The one
girl said “yes, I know of one close to here! What good work you do! Thank you
‘Mme for your work”. These girls were so sweet and so happy to chat. I made way
and continued to take a nice long walk down the red dirt paths and admire the
mountains and blue sky.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">I returned
to the White House to check on some emails and connect with both Help Lesotho
and the Ministry of Health. I then had a Skype call with the Chair and Vice
Chair of the board from back home. It was lovely to speak to them. I am truly
blessed to work for an organization with such a passionate board, volunteers
and staff. Samuel arrived in the afternoon and we were off to Lerobane. I was so
excited, I had thought about the kids at Lerobane all night the day before.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">Before
getting to Lerobane, we saw Mamokhele walking home from school so we picked her
up and continued to drive to the high school where Makhauta goes. Makhauta is a
very special little girl who has been with Bracelet of Hope and AFMSDD for many
years. She is HIV+ and on more than one occasion we have almost lost her. She
now lives with a nutritionist and her husband who care for her. We drove up to
the high school and picked up Mahlohololo, who is from Tlhakuli but stays at
Lerobane for school. We hopped out of the van, and got a beautiful smile and
greeting from Makhauta. We said hello, chatted a bit and took a picture

goodbyes, and drove up the mountain to the Lerobane foster home. The children
and foster parents were so happy and excited to greet me. Little Ntaoleng and Justice ran
up to me, hugged me and started laughing and screaming, Ntaoleng was so excited. I
have thought about her so much since I last left in September. She has a very
bold personality, she directs the other wee ones and has a silly little voice
and thinks the world is a place for joy and laughter. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I then got to actually chat with Mamokhele and gave her a big hug as well. Mamokhele is about 16yrs old
and was the head of the household, caring for four siblings and two nephews at
a very young age. Her parents died and her sister was very ill. When her sister
passed away, she got a job but had to bring baby Justice with her wherever she
went. When the Ministry of Social Development took them to the Lerobane foster
home, Justice could not walk due to malnourishment.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Since then, the children have been well cared
for, they are healthy, happy and they are going to school. Although their lives
had been changed by being cared for at the foster home, Mamokhele had a
difficult time letting her guard down, and allowing the parents to care for her
and her family. She was so used to caring for them that she had difficulty with
the foster mother. Eventually, she began to trust the mother and father and she
has now been able to reclaim her childhood. Mamokhele dreams of being a social
worker to help children like her. She would be remarkable at that. She is remarkable.
I am blown away by her strength and courage. She has so much faith, a very big
heart and continues to shine and grow, with one of the best smiles you’ve ever
seen.</span></div>

hit the family again just this past December when little Khotso, Mamokhele’s
5yr old nephew fell out of a tree, and after about a week in the hospital,
consistently losing strength, he also passed away. Khotso was a beautiful
little boy. He was happy and loved playing with his siblings. His eyes sparkled
and he had a way of looking at you that you knew he was about to do something
silly. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

with balloons which made the little ones squeal with laughter and the older

<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">Once we had
played for a while, I interviewed the foster mother and Mamokhele about what
life is like as a woman and a girl in Lesotho. ‘Me Mamosebetsi told me that she
had a bicycle as a child that she loved. She learned how to drive as a young
woman and absolutely adores it. She told me she wished that more woman drove,
because it is so much fun. I asked her if she could have anything what would she
want, after much of her laughing and saying anything at all is a gift, thank
you, she finally told me she would love a winter jacket to stay warm. When I
asked Mamokhele what it was like to be a girl, she said her childhood was very
difficult and hard, she did not go to school and she had to work very hard to
keep her siblings and nephews alive. She enjoys school and looks forward to
becoming a social worker so her and her friend who wants to be a teacher can
help others.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the new pig barn. It was fantastic! It has multiple stalls for piglets and

the profit to purchase more pigs and eventually start a savings plan. The funds
will go back into the foster home to support food security and children’s

also created a small barn where they will bring in chickens to grow to
slaughter. Outside the barns there are several very large gardens that have
produced corn, tomatoes, spinach, greens and other vegetables. Their goal is to
have a small tower garden for each foster child so they can learn about growing
their own food at a very young age. Together with the piggery, chickens and gardens,
these projects will support food security and sustainability for the home,
while also teaching the children about growing and tending crops, caring for
pigs and chickens. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

left, I ran back and forth across the yard with Ntaoleng as she giggled and
held my hand. We played with the balloons and the bubbles and took a group
photo. I was then beginning to say goodbye and Ntaoleng wrapped her arms around
me and would not let go. She wanted to stay with me, and my goodness I would
have scooped her up and kept her had she not such a wonderful life with her
siblings and foster parents. We hugged for what felt like an hour and finally,
I said goodbye and Kea Leboha to everyone. I put my sunglasses on so they could
not see my tears. I know I will see them again in a few months, however it is
so hard leaving them. Every single one of them has a beautiful heart. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

back to Hlotse where I went to the hotel to meet ‘Mme Makhlompho and Andy. We
had a great dinner and laughed so hard throughout the meal. It was so amazing
to see good friends again in Lesotho. Before I left I packed some treats, some
maple syrup and some boxes of Kraft Dinner as ‘Mme told me last time she loved
Kraft Dinner. We all shared stories of our childhood and being naughty, and how
the youngest always gets away with everything (Andy is the youngest, and yes I
mean you Christopher haha). I told stories of growing up with summers in Apsley
catching frogs, fishing and catching snakes. We talked about catching chipmunks
and squirrels and laughed. ‘Me and Andy told a hilarious story of wearing
shower caps into the lake on her trip to Ontario and how she nearly drown as
she had never swam before, but jumped in expecting to touch the bottom. ‘Me is
so funny, she brings such laughter wherever she goes! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

much but I am truly blessed to have remarkable nephews and nieces. I was so
happy to see his happy little face. We talked for some time then they arrived
at Mandy’s house and I got to talk to her and my little 3 year old nephew
Brantley. I miss them so much, and I cannot wait to come home and give them all
big hugs. They also carry magic with them. They light up my life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

say it enough. Our children are full of magic. No matter what they have been
through, their eyes sparkle, their laughter brings an instant smile and their
tiny hugs stay with me and give me strength to continue to fight for them.
Fight for the opportunities they deserve. Fight for their futures. Share their
stories. Share their beautiful photos. Continue to spread the love these
beautiful babies bring to this world. I am grateful to be able to be a small
part of their magical lives. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">Today I
woke up and had a Cliff bar and banana. I read in my bed for some time then got ready to go. I waited for Samuel and read some more. Samuel
arrived around 11am and we left to go to Mohalalitoe. This is a foster home
close to Maseru, the capital city.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Samuel and
I had a wonderful conversation on our way there. We discussed the troubles that
are facing Lesotho. We discussed similarities in our lives and our countries.
He told me about a young boy who he is trying to help, he is about 11 yrs old
and he is addicted to glue. He also sometimes smokes marijuana, which is a big
problem in the country. Many young children smoke it or the glue. He is trying
to support the child because he is living on the street and is living a rough
life. He is trying to get him into a rehabilitation centre but there are not
many resources for addicted children. It breaks his heart to know that a young child has such a rough life already that he has found drugs to cloud his pain.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">It made me
think of my relationships over the years with many friends and family members
who have also struggled with alcohol and drug addiction. The difference was, in
Canada the resources are overflowing. If you are willing and ready to get help in Canada,
there are many places you can go to get support, resources, get clean and turn your life around. What many people don’t understand if they have never faced addiction or have never had someone go through it, is that
it is a life long journey and it can be a daily struggle for people to stay
clean. If you, or someone you know is looking for help, there are many
resources to reach out to. Please visit: <o:p></o:p></span></span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">http://www.drugandalcoholhelpline.ca/ </span></div>

We continued to talk about other, lighter things, maple syrup, our families and his new
baby girl. We then arrived at the home. This home, Mohalalitoe has one mother, ‘Me Masamuel
and nine children. There are four older boys - Tsoanelo, 22 who is in his last
year of trade school to become an electrician, Tsepo, 19 who is in his last
year of trade school for carpentry, Moshoeshoe who is in trade school for
plumbing, Ralineo, 16 who is very brilliant and in a very good school. There
are five younger children, Nthabiseng, 11 whose mother passed away and whose
father left her stranded until he also passed away, Mpho, 8 and Rethabile, 6
who are siblings who had a very young mother who left them unattended,
Boitumelo, 6 who is new to the homes who got lost trying to find her relatives when her mother left her and Relebohile, 5 whose mother passed away and was
left with an abusive aunt. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

arrived I was greeted by the Pastor and his wife. They told me they thought I
was still an “Ausi” until they saw my wedding ring. Ausi is a term used for
young girls. After chatting with them, we wandered to the home, knocked and
said “Coco, coco” which is knock knock. We then met ‘Me Masamuel once again. She
greeted me, very excited to see me again. We smiled and hugged. She was very excited to show me, she had made for me a Canadian flag. She made it from plastic and an old flour bag. She creates many designs and sells them. She was very proud, and I was very grateful to have this amazing piece from her!</span></div>

the two gardens they have with spinach, rape and other greenery, they showed me
the peas, the dried up tomatoes and other crops. It is now the fall and the
growing season is over but they had a plentiful garden this year. We are grateful
for the support of the Givesome team and our ongoing donors for helping us
expand the gardens in our homes.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">We chatted
for some time and I began asking ‘Me some personal questions. I wanted to know
what life was like for her as a girl. She told me that the pressures she faced
as a young girl were that she wanted to follow her dreams of helping people by becoming
a nurse but her father and mother did not allow her to go to school, so she got
a job as a maid. There was no money in the family for her to go to school as
well as her siblings. She later married a wonderful man, but they could not
have children. She said it was very difficult to live in a world where there is
much pressure for women to have children, and not to be able to. This struggle
tore at her heart, but eventually led her to the job of becoming a foster
mother.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I asked her
what her favourite part of the job is, and she said simply that the children
are what makes her so happy. They are loving, and the little ones cling to her
side. She said they know that she is there for them, and she is a safe person
who they can trust. When I asked her what was most difficult about the job, she
said that all of the children have such different personalities and it can be
hard to get them to stay on task. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
A regular day for her is to wake up, pray, take a bath then wake the nine
children up to have a bath as she makes them all breakfast. When she gets them
all ready and off to school, she cleans the house and by 1pm she begins to make
them lunch for when they arrive after school. She also has a lovely hobby of
sewing designs into flour bags with plastic. She has different colours of
plastic and makes things such as flags, and flowers out of them. After school she says the house turns into a disaster with clothing,
shoes and book bags every where (sound familiar?). She gets the children food
and they change out of their uniforms and into street clothing. The children wash their uniforms, do
their homework, go out to play, they come back in for dinner and pray before
all going into their bedrooms for talking and sleep.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">When I
asked her what she wanted to tell people in Canada, she said “Please, love your
children. They need love, support, encouragement. Love your children, they are
everything”.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">As we
finished chatting, we began to hear little voices come in. My heart jumped! Relebohile
and Boitumelo came around the corner with big smiles and their adorable school
uniforms. We said hello and they were happy to see me. The children continued
to come in, and all of them got changed out of their school clothes, had some
pap pap and were ready to play. Nthabiseng then brought out all of her
schoolwork to show Samuel and I. She showed us her last four tests, scoring
100% on three and 80% on one! She was very proud, and she should be, smart
little cookie!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

was so silly. </span></span></div>

time with the balloons and bubbles, I took out the skipping ropes. They were
very long which was perfect for the group. We started with one rope, and then I
asked Moshoeshoe if they had ever seen “Double Dutch”. They didn’t know what it
was so I showed Moshoeshoe how to hold and move both ropes. The girls we so
excited, they all tried jumping through and eventually they got the hang of it.
Moshoeshoe tried but did not succeed, he was far too tall for the ropes the
girls were swinging and they had a hard time getting the timing down so it
often turned into two twisted ropes. </span></span></div>

We played for some time, I took some photos and got a nice group photo of the
family as well. I brought out the flash cards I had brought for spelling
English words and Samuel was thrilled. They need more support for spelling and
English, so next time I come I promised to bring many more flash cards and
educational tools. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">We then
went inside and ‘Me prayed for us all. We then gave hugs, high fives and said
goodbye again to the gorgeous children at Mohalalitoe. It was so amazing to see
their little faces and hear their laughter once again. I wish I could bottle it
up and keep it on a shelf. They bring such joy and light to my
life.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">As we drove
away, Samuel and I talked about the kids. He said that recently Relebohile had
been asking him for tights to wear to school. He did not know why but she was
adamant that she needed them. This was her first year to school and she was so
proud. The other girls had been talking about wanting dolls so badly. I asked
Samuel if we could stop at a shop on our way back. We popped into a store where
I found four dolls and a pair of tights, it was less than $5 Canadian, and my treat for the girls. He was smiling ear to ear and said the
girls would be so excited. They would make new dresses for the dolls, do their
hair and play. We walked out of the store and on the road there were a few
people roasting corn over coals. He asked me if I had ever eaten it that way
and I said no. We split a corn and enjoyed it on the way home. It was
delicious!! Hot off the coals.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">We began
driving and talking again. We talked about his little girl, Bohahle who will be
turning one in May and how she has changed his world. He said if someone told
him he had to walk hours to get to her, he would run. She is his everything. He
said he didn’t think he was ready to have a baby, but when she arrived, it all
changed and something in him became ready. He said she has filled his heart.
Just as we were talking about her, his wife, Dee called and told him that
today, she had walked for the first time! He was so excited. She was going to
send him a video. It reminded me so much of my little niece Parker. When
P was born, Danny turned into a weeping mess. His heart grew ten times the
day his little girl was born. She will be turning one in June and she has
brought such joy to his life (and all of ours). I’ve never seen him happier than when he is with
her. Children are such a joy, and bring such magic to this world.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">As we
continued to drive, he talked about the history of Lesotho, and how King
Moshoeshoe was a peaceful king who brought people together. We discussed living
wages and how much it costs to have a home in Lesotho. He told me on average, a
nurse in Lesotho may make about $18,000 a year, and homes in general cost about
$30,000. I told him about the current housing market in Toronto, Guelph and
Kitchener and how it is getting so hard for people to buy homes, even when they
have great jobs. He said many of the same things are happening in Lesotho and
South Africa. There are many educated people who do not have a job, and it is
hard for them to earn a living. Many of them go to South Africa for the
opportunity of making more money. We continued to talk about life, babies, and
the different difficulties we face as young people. It is truly amazing to have
time with Samuel to talk about life. He is a true friend.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">He dropped
me off at the white house and I excitedly ran up the steps. I was able to text
my mom, siblings and husband today via What’s App and was finally going to call
my husband! I got in the door, put down my things and instantly called. There
he was, in his car on his lunch break, just a normal Thursday afternoon for
him. It was remarkable to see his face and hear his voice! I told him about my
time here so far, and we talked about his busy days and the Toronto Maple Leafs. Us Canadians
take our hockey seriously- it does not matter that I am half way around the
world, I still need to know how our boys are doing in the playoffs! We talked
for a while and he had to go back to work. My heart was full. I needed to see
my person, even just for a few minutes. He gives me strength, makes me
confident and happy.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I then
worked on my computer for some time writing blogs, trying to find a way to
create a personal hotspot from my phone to my computer. I ate fruit, had
some water and by 10pm was off to bed. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

blessed to do the work that I do. Bracelet of Hope and AFMSDD are not simply
supporting kids to live in foster homes, we are working together to
ensure these children are taken out of vulnerable situations and given an
opportunity to excel at life, to be given back their childhood that was taken
from them. Give them a mother to love them, bubbles to squeal at, and balloons
to pop. Allow them to get 100% on a test and be proud of it. To learn, excel
and grow. To develop sustainability through gardening, raising chickens and
giving them a life without worrying about food or if they will go to school and
who will care for them. Our children are happy, safe and loved. For that I am
grateful.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">Today I
woke up in traditional Lesotho style- with a crazy rooster crowing around 4:30am.
I had a sip of water, and rolled over thinking I may sleep another 2-3hrs. I
slept until 11am, woke up to the birds chirping and no alarm. Now isn’t that
how life should be?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">I got up,
had some peanut butter and bread for breakfast and got
ready. I was excited to go out and wander the city of Hlotse again. I missed the bright Lesotho sky, the red dirt and the smells of BBQ meats and maize.<br />
<br />
I opened the door and a wave of heat and sunshine hit me. I walked down the
stairs and out the front gate, walked down the dirt roads admiring the
greenery, the birds, and the sky I have missed so dearly. I cannot express how
beautiful the Lesotho sky is. It is touched by tall, large mountains and you
will not see a cloud anywhere you look. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I walked
past a Vodacom booth and spoke to a little girl who told me that men were mean,
women her grandmother’s age were mean and to only speak with children or
elders. Her father was laughing so hard and shaking his head. I said have a
great day and continued to wander.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">I found my
way to the bottom of the hill and found the Positively Empowered Artisans and
the ladies who create the beads that we use for our Women to Women events.
These three ladies are HIV+. They take wooden beads and they delicately roll
hand cut fabric over each bead, gluing the fabric down. These beads are used
for earrings, necklaces and keychains. Last time I was in Lesotho I spoke to
one of the women who has two little girls and she told me because of the ARVs
that she is taking, her little girl is not HIV+. They were very excited to see
me, and to my excitement, they remembered me as well as “Ntate Andy’s friend”.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">After chatting
with the lovely ladies and putting in an order for beads, I walked up the hill
and who do I see? ‘Mme Makhlompho walking down in a bright pink traditional
Basotho dress. We instantly both squealed and ran to one another hugging and
laughing. It brought tears to my eyes to see her! ‘Mme is one of the most
loving, giving, generous and funny women I have ever met. She is kind, and is
always looking to help others. I’m very grateful to have her as a friend.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;"><br />
We talked on the hill for a while, just like old friends catching up, it felt
like no time had passed since I had seen her last. We hugged again, planned to
do dinner and continued on our own way. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">I made it
to the Leribe Hotel and sat down for a cold Orange Fanta and water. I connected
to the internet and tried to text my husband or email but the only thing that
worked was Facebook. I began to message my mom and let her know I was safe and
very happy to be here. I know that her and my husband were very worried as they
had not heard from me, but she remembered from 2006 when I went to Kenya on my
own that “no news, is good news”. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">We chatted
briefly over Facebook Messenger and I was blown away by how much comfort my
mom’s voice gave me. It doesn’t matter how old you are, you always need mom, especially
when you are alone.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">She
connected to my husband and they figured out how to get my phone unlocked as I
had forgotten it was a new phone since the last time I was here.</span></span><br />

I then walked back to my place and hoped I would be able to find it. I passed
many children on their way home from school smiling and waving hello. Children
are always so happy and excited to say hello. I wondered how far these little
ones had walked from their school and far they have to walk to get back home. I
wandered for about 45 minutes, somewhat lost until I eventually saw the white
house and made my way back! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">I put my
leftovers away, I had a ham and cheese sandwich at the hotel. I chugged some
cold water and sat down. Just after sitting I heard a knock on the door and it
was Samuel.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">Samuel then
took me to the Leribe Hotel where we tried once again to get access to the
internet and to get my phone unlocked. The only way to do it was to set up a
new phone, so I lost my contacts, my photos, my apps, everything. We thought it
was working and tried to call and it did work. I got to finally talk to my
husband and mom again. It was such a relief. I was so happy to get to talk to
them.<br />
<br />
We then packed up and drove back to the white house where we sat in the car for
about an hour. We discussed the lessons he has learned from being a social
worker, from Bracelet of Hope and a phrase he called “Being Western”, which
means being professional, punctual and business-like. I laughed and we
discussed how in many countries in Africa, there is a different time system
than what we use in Canada. Time is flexible. If you say 10am, it may be 10am
or 10:30am, or 12pm. There is also a Basotho phrase of “now”, “now, now” and
“now, now, now”. Now means sometime in the near future, now now means sometime
soon, perhaps in an hour or so, and now now now means right now, this very
moment. As we chuckled, we moved on to discussing the Foster Homes, the
mothers, his work, the difficulties of having children taken from the homes,
and lastly, the passing of little Khotso. I cried and Samuel’s voice broke many
times but I could tell he was trying to stay calm. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">The thing
about the foster children is that they are not simply children in a home and
Samuel is their social worker that checks in on them. Samuel is a trusted
guardian for each one of them. When Ithameleng was hit by a car, she was strong
and the nurses said she was fine, but then, when Samuel walked into the room
she began to cry. When Samuel reached Khotso’s bedside, the same was true.
These children trust and love Samuel. So as much as my heart was broken to lose
a boy I had known, and whose photos hung on my wall at work and on my fridge at
home, this was a child who Samuel saw every week, who hugged him, who cried
with him, who he looked to for support. This was a boy who Samuel had to sit by
his bedside day after day and watch a vibrant little boy go from his silly
little self to a weak boy trying to hang on as he fought for his life, a
fight which would eventually come to an end.</span></span><br />

talking for an hour in the car, I made my way back into the apartment. My heart
is broken for the children in Lesotho who have lost their mothers, their
fathers, their siblings, their friends. These children have been through more
hardship and heartbreak than any one person should see in their entire lives.

found my way to St. Peter’s Cathedral. It was stunning. I am always blown away
by the beauty of the cathedrals throughout Europe, with such history and faith.
Grandeous ceilings, marble, gold paintings, statues everywhere and beautiful
alters. I sat down and listened to some of the service and smelt the smoky
room. It was amazing to sit and listen.</span></span><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

tickets to climb the 330 steps up to the top of the Cathedral that overlooked
beautiful Munich. I was tired, it was cold and wet, but when I made it to the
top, it was all worth it! Through the rain I walked the circular route at the
top of Cathedral admiring the beauty of Munich. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

then decided to treat myself to a nice drink and meal. Before I left, I told my
dad about the Hofbrauhaus beer hall, the largest and most famous in the world, and
he told me to go in and purchase the “best, most expensive beer on the menu”
and drink it for him. I heard great music coming from a pub called the
Schneider brauhaus so I stopped in and had a lite wheat beer, met some lovely
people, and asked the waitress to bring me a traditional German meal. She
served me a plate of sausage, pork, ham, dumpling and sauerkraut with gravy.
It’s a lot of meat for anyone, especially someone who doesn’t generally eat
that much, but when in Munich! I tried a bit of each of them, and liked most of
it. It was warm and hearty, how I felt about the city.</span></span><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-CA" style="color: black; font-family: Times;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
band was taking a break so I decided to walk down further to the Hofbrauhaus. I
walked in and instantly smiled. The ceilings were painted, there were old wood
tables and benches, loud joyful music was playing the back, ladies with
lederhosen were selling pretzels and beer was a plenty. I sat down beside two
older ladies and started chatting up the waitress. I told her I was from
Kitchener, which was once called Berlin and how my dad had given me money to
buy the best beer. She didn’t say a word but pointed and winked at me. A few
moments later she came back with a dark beer. I took one sip and looked around
at this bustling, loud hall, filled with laughing people. It was packed and it
was a Monday at noon. My favourite part of the whole experience was when I
asked my waitress what made this place so special. She said that we have fun, and
we don’t have customers, only friends. She then went on to tell me
that behind the bar there were walls and walls covered with steins from local
regular customers who leave their mugs at the bar.</span></span><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

did I love Munich.</span><span lang="EN-CA" style="color: black;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: small;">I
wandered past some smaller pubs, flower shoppes, candy shoppes and gelato and
decided it was time to warm up in the airport. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color: black; font-family: Times;">
<br />
I made my way back on the train and said goodbye to the beautiful city. I had a
great conversation with a gentleman about hockey and soccer.</span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Times;">I then took the 10.5 hour flight to South
Africa. I watched almost four movies and could not really sleep. I was either
too excited, lonely or exhausted. I was far too tired to go out in Johannesburg
so I </span><span style="color: black; font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">spent the day from about 9am to 2pm in the airport wandering
around, drinking tea and watching Netflix over purchased airtime. Then the
longest flight of them all came- the flight from Joburg to Maseru...a whole 45
minutes! </span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I was so excited when the wheels touched down. I chatted the whole
way there to a young Basotho lady who told me I needed to see the Falls and the
Dam before leaving Lesotho and that she was very happy to have met me. I find
Basotho people to be much like Canadians - they are sweet, kind and always
willing to offer support, directions and a big smile.</span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

When I got off the plane, I walked through customs, picked up my bag and walked
through the doors, and there was Samuel with a big smile on his face. We hugged
and helped bring my luggage to the van. We drove to the familiar mall in Maseru
where I purchased a SIM card, data, groceries and took out money. We stopped
for gas and hit a lot of traffic. By the time we arrived in Hlotse it was very
late, but two more smiling faces were waiting for me, 'Mme Matsepo and Pastor
James. 'Mme gave me a big hug and we sat down for a lovely dinner of rice,
sweet potatoes and chicken, with my favourite, Orange Fanta. </span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color: black; font-family: Times;">I
was excited to call Mike and let him know I had arrived safely. I got to the
“White House”, a tall building with four apartments in it. I opened the door
and I was so excited. A beautiful flat with large living room, kitchen,
bedrooms and bathroom and tall ceilings. I put my groceries away and sat down
to try to call home. Neither the sim card for my phone or the sim card for the
jump drive worked. I was disappointed and although I have only been gone since
Sunday, I really wanted to hear my husband’s voice. You see, my husband is my
person. We have been together for ten years and he has been through some of the
most exciting and some of the hardest times in my life. We are together all the
time. So even a day or two without him can be hard. So once again, I had a
little cry, told myself you’ll talk to him tomorrow and started putting away my
clothing and items in places that I would call home for the next two and a half
weeks.</span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color: black; font-family: Times;">I
placed my trusty Cliff bars beside my Kraft peanut butter in the cupboard and
told myself- here we go! </span><span style="color: black; font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I unpacked the hundreds of feminine hygiene pads,
bouncy balls, cards, balloons, pens and toys, took a deep breath and told
myself, "tomorrow, you start up!"</span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color: black; font-family: Times;">Welcome
back to a place I have now only visited twice, but feel an instant comfort as
those wheels touched down in the beautiful mountain kingdom. As I fall asleep
tonight in a comfortable bed in my new home, I think of the sparkling Lesotho
sky filled with stars and anxiously await seeing it’s sun filled sky in the
morning.</span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Today I had an appointment to interview a local doctor. I had asked to speak with an HIV/AIDS specialist in Lesotho and was told that if they are a doctor in Lesotho, they ARE an HIV/AIDS specialist.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">This doctor has been in Lesotho, practicing medicine for twelve years. He told me that 30% of his patients are HIV+, that he knows of. There were many details he shared with me about the progression of care in Lesotho, the financial costs of HIV on the country, and the psychological impacts of being born HIV+, becoming HIV+ later in life, or being affected by it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">There is still a lot of stigma around HIV/AIDS in Lesotho, and around the world. He believes we need new radical policies and thinkers to make a drastic change. He believes that many people still do not know their status, and there is great fear around knowing. People in Lesotho are very well educated about protection, there are condoms everywhere- I don't know how many washrooms I was in that had containers full of free condoms. The country is working tirelessly to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS. Women are disproportionately affected by HIV and AIDS in Lesotho. Inequality in HIV prevalence begins in early life, with HIV almost twice as prevalent amongst young women (10.5%) than young men (5.8%) aged 15-24yrs old (Avert). Gender based violence has been found to be a significant driver for the increased HIV prevalence among women.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The doctor spoke of many side effects of having HIV/AIDS, the side effects of the drugs, as well as a high rate of hypertension in many of his patients. Lesotho has the second highest rate of HIV in the world. Currently 1 in 4 people in Lesotho are HIV+. This has left a generation of children behind, creating 200,000 orphans in Lesotho. 1 in 10 people in the country are orphaned children. These may be just stats, they are devastating. They need to change.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The doctor told me that there is a lot of kidney failure in Lesotho, and that all publicly funded dialysis must happen in South Africa. As many of you know, I had a kidney transplant in 2009 and was on both hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis before getting my gift of life. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">When you are diagnosed in Lesotho, you are prescribed six months of dialysis through public health care, and after that you have to pay for it on your own. Each session can cost up to 2500R, which is $250 Canadian, a steep price for survival. When I dialyzed at Grand River Hospital, I did it three times a week, and if my levels weren't great, they would ask to have me in a fourth time. There was no bill at the end of the five hour treatment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">To dialyze up to Canadian healthcare standards, you would get three treatments a week. In South Africa you would pay $250 per session, so $750/week x 4 weeks/month x 12 months/yr= <b>$36,000 per year to dialyze</b>. To put in perspective how much it would cost to SURVIVE with kidney disease, the World Bank has stated that Lesotho's per capita income, is $2,494. Yes, you read that right. <b>That's $2,494 per year. $36,000 per year for dialysis on a $2,494 income.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now imagine having to face the fact that you need dialysis to survive, and it is only funded publicly for six months. Doc said bluntly to me "it's a death sentence, it's six months to live".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">We moved on from kidney disease, and began discussing general health care. Doc said the amount of patients per doctor, and hospital beds per doctor are simply unmanageable. The World Bank has stated that Lesotho has on average 1.7 doctors per 1,000 hospital beds. The need for doctors in Lesotho is astronomical. The need for care and support is desperate.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I don't mean to continually harp on the idea that we are extremely lucky to live in Canada, but even when we look at the ARVs (antiretroviral therapy-medication used for HIV/AIDS), we have more than forty choices of what Doc calls "ARV cocktails". In Lesotho, there are 2-3 choices. When discussing "cocktails", it means a combination of the drugs that you take to create a mixture that works well in your body, with the least amount of side effects that fights against the virus.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Over and over we are reminded that there are people around the world who do not have the same rights and privileges that we do here in Canada. Incredible public health care has been the difference between me being alive today or not.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I was born in Burlington, Ontario. Little did I know then, that meant I would live to see six months past my diagnosis...fast forward eight years later and I am sitting in front of a man who is telling me if I were born here in Lesotho, I would have died in January of 2009. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I have been given the opportunity to live past my six months. What have I done past my six months?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I finished my University degree, </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I married my best friend,</span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I found the career of my dreams, I bought my first home, I travelled to Lesotho and I wake up every day without tubes, without dialysis, with a brand new kidney, able to enjoy a hot shower, smile at my scars, have the energy to go to work and the ability to live the life I have always strived for.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I pledge to use my extra months to be a voice for the voiceless. Join me. Ask questions. Meet the people of Lesotho, learn their stories, meet their babies. Laugh with them, cry with them, grow with them. Together, we can create change. </span><br />

Today I woke up and went to the Post Office, bought some beautiful fabric and wandered around town. Andy picked us up and we went to the South African border to purchase some Lesotho crafts and hats. I purchased several hats and a beautiful cane.</div>

From the market, we drove up to Tlhakuli. It is a beautiful place up on the side of a mountain. I couldn't help but take a ton of photos of this beautiful scenery.</div>

The boys take very good care of their younger 'sister' Phuthi. When we arrived, Phuthi was still sleeping. Once the boys came home from school and began to play, Phuthi was up and ready to go! I read them a great story that had counting numbers in English and Swahili as it was a Kenyan book called "We are going on a safari" from the Go Go Grandmothers. They asked me to read it for them again and again, so we also counted in Sotho and English.<br />
<br />
One - Nngoe<br />
Two -Peli<br />
Three - Tharo<br />
Four - Nne<br />
Five - Hlano<br />
Six- Tselela</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Seven - Supa (my favourite)<br />
Eight - Robeli</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nine - Robong</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ten - Leshome</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The great thing about counting with kids is that they are always excited to get to the number ten! It is like a great accomplishment to celebrate! LESHOME!<br />

The word that seemed to be their favourite was "cheetah". I would point at an animal and say "elephant" or "lion" or "zebra", and they would smile, but I would point to a cheetah and they would say "CHEETAH!".<br />
<br />
We played with a tennis ball, marbles and tops. The boys showed us how they can spin tops in the dirt. Phuthi was always there ready to put her hand out for the boys to spin the top onto her hand. Phuthi is never looked at by the boys the same as siblings do in my experience (like a bother), she is taken good care of, and is always watched over by her older brothers.<br />

The highlight was not any of these games, it was actually a purple bike. The boys were so excited to show us. They went into the cellar and dragged out their bike. The bike had no wheels, no brakes and no chains. I was wondering what they were going to do with this piece of metal. The bike was not fit to use as a traditional bicycle with pedalling and going uphill, however it was a great riding game.<br />

The boys took turns hopping on the bike and tearing down the hill, squealing with joy. Over and over, they rode down the hill at top speed and once it slowed down, would jump off. Such joy from this bicycle. In Canada, we would most likely thrown it in the trash, but at this home, this was a tiny piece of gold for the kids that brought such joy. Phuthi watched the boys enjoy the bike, smiling.<br />

Of course, Phuthi stood by watching, but she did not want to stand idly by. She went over to her brothers and they picked her up and down the hill she went. We were all terrified and told the boys not to do it again, but from the way they rode down that hill, that was not the first time they had done it, and it would probably not be the last.<br />

We played games, talked and watched them ride their bike for a couple hours. The bike was pure magic. They were thrilled to have this bicycle that was just a broken piece of a metal and a reminder of a bike that once was. We asked the boys how school was going. They were very proud to show us their drawings of cars, and their homework they have been completing. They were also very proud of their multiplication skills, telling us "4x2=8, 8x2=16" and with a little help, they stated "16x2=32".</div>

It was clear that the boys and Phuthi were very happy in the home with their Foster Mother. We walked down the hill and I couldn't help but think of how treasured that bike was. A bike with no wheels, no brakes and no chains. It was a tiny piece of gold in their world. They were so proud of this bicycle and truly treasured having it. I also couldn't stop thinking about their shoes. Many of the kids in the homes wore shoes that did not match, were falling apart or were simply far too large for them.<br />

That evening we went out to dinner with Andy, 'Me Mahlompho, Brad, Pastor James, his wife 'Me Mantsepo and their daughter. It was a lovely dinner. We discussed the Foster Homes, and I asked James what he felt the biggest needs for the children right now would be. He responded saying the need for shoes and clothing is great. Kids wear out clothing and shoes quickly, and when kids are generally wearing pre-used clothing, it wears down easily.<br /><br />My goal when I return home is to find a monthly donor, or a sponsor for shoes and clothing for these children. They deserve to have proper clothing and shoes that fit.<br />
<br />
These kids come from such broken places and shine so bright. I go to bed tonight hoping and dreaming about the day I hear that Phuthi, Ithabeleng, Mamokhele, Ntaoleng and all of our Foster children have grown up to finish school, find jobs and are healthy and happy adults. I wish the best for these children. They are so special, so full of joy and hope. <br /> They deserve all of the opportunities in life to thrive.<br />

Today we woke up and went to Pastor James' church. Pastor James is the pastor who runs the Apostolic Faith Mission Social Development Division (AFMSDD), the organization that runs the Foster Homes that Bracelet of Hope supports. Rather than have children in an orphanage, or on the streets, the children are brought to the foster homes where up Foster Mothers or parents care for them and their siblings. We aim to have eight children in each home, however there are some homes with more, and some homes with less. Each home is linked to an Apostolic Faith Mission congregation where a church committee oversees and supports the homes. The Foster Parents receive a stipend for their work. An incredible social worker, named Samuel, is employed and also supports all six homes, supports the intake for new children and the psychological, <br />
social and emotional needs of the children.</div>

After meeting some of the church attendees and many pastors who had come for a visit, as there was a Family Conference happening at AFM, the service began and people started trickling in. There were about 150 people and the music was remarkable. There were great musicians, and incredible male and female singers. </div>

The kids did not have Sunday school that day, so they sat in the back of the church for the entire four hours, YES, four hours of church. They were so well behaved. They would get up to dance or wiggle but there were no interruptions from the kids, they stayed in the back and enjoyed the service.</div>

There were three young girls whose voices blew me away. One was Samuel's niece, and another was Pastor James' daughter. I didn't get the opportunity to meet the third young lady. They sang a song with the lyrics "I don't mind waiting, I don't mind waiting, on the Lord." It was a beautiful song and they sang with such passion and power for three young girls.</div>

What is remarkable about this song is the lyrics. It speaks to how sometimes in life, you are faced with a situation where you don't have any answers and cannot find anyone or anything to help you. This song speaks to waiting on the Lord for support and strength and how you need to learn how to wait, that it will come, to have faith. In a country with such despair, with 1 in 4 HIV+ and 200,000 orphaned children, with such tragedy in life, it is hard to understand how they can have such strength and security that the Lord will provide for them. I find myself amazed by the faith they have. I look at these circumstances and I look at these children, and I am often angered. Why do these children have to suffer? Why did they lose their parents or why did they have to lose their spouses? Why was I so fortunate to be born in Canada, rather than Lesotho? Sitting in church for four hours can bring these tough questions to the forefront of your mind.<br />

After a couple hours of singing and some speaking from other pastors in the region, Pastor James came up for the main teaching. He is a charismatic, passionate and engaging speaker. What was incredible about it as well, was he had an interpreter with him so when he spoke English, the interpreter would speak in Sotho for everyone to understand. At times, the interpreter and Pastor James would switch back and forth between English and Sotho, and the interpreter would switch depending on what language Pastor James was speaking in. They did it with such ease and such smooth transitions that you generally did not notice.</div>

The church service went until about 3:30pm. After church there was a delicious meal of samp (dried corn kernels that have been stamped and chopped until broken, but still large, unlike corn meal), chicken, cabbage, vegetables and rice. We ate at the head table with Pastor James and his wife 'Me Matsepo and had a great conversation. </div>

We left the church and returned to the nun convent. I did some cleaning and some laundry (in red bins with a Sunlight bar of soap) and hung the clothing out to dry on the clothing line. I wandered to the hotel across the street to check for a wifi connection with no luck. I enjoyed a Fanta Orange pop outside in the sun. </div>

That night I went to bed thinking about the message of the day that stuck with me- to be patient and grateful. It is hard for me to think of the children in this country, so many of them left alone and waiting for someone to care for them. There are 200,000 orphans in the country, and we are only caring for about 40 of them. We need more support for the country, more support for the children, and more care for the situation around the world.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes it can feel like you are not making any progress, you are struggling to make it up a giant hill with no help. You feel like you are just a small drop in the bucket. Then, you realize that drop in the bucket that you feel is not doing anything at all HAS made an impact. Maybe not on the world, maybe not on the country, but to someone. That drop in the bucket means something to someone. Imagine if we all put a small drop in the bucket, how full it could get, so quickly. If we all work together, if we all put a small drop in the bucket, we could overflow it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If we all work together, no one would have to wait. We are strong together.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hearts on sleeves, and shovels in hand, let's get to work, so no one has to wait.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We hopped on a pontoon boat to venture into the waters with hippos and crocodiles- who's great idea was this?!? We got on with about twelve other people and a great guide who was very knowledgable. The pontoon boat has eight sections on the bottom of the boat, in case a hippo bites the bottom. If they bite a part of the boat, only that 1/8 sections will fill up with water and you can move to shore without having your boat sink. Regular pontoon boats only have one section on each side. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Within a minute on the boat, we drove right up to the "townies". The "townies" are a group of hippos who enjoy wandering into town to pick up garbage, see the sights and have a nice evening out.</div>

Our guide Doug then told us some really interesting information about the animals. Did you know that hippos live about 50-55yrs and on average, weigh about 2 tonnes? That's impressive, but the more impressive fact is that they can run up to 25km/hr in water and up to 55km/hour on land!!!!! That is faster than Usain Bolt!!!! On average, 2900 people are killed each year by hippos and they are one of the most dangerous animals in the world.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Scientists also wanted to know how heavy a hippo's skin would weigh. The skin of one hippo can weigh up to 500lbs. Hippos are massive animals. Their babies gain 10lbs per day in the first eight months of their lives. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These giant beasts were terrifying to be that close to in the water, but I was also completely enamoured by them. These vegetarians are so ferocious. They do not kill for food, they kill if you get in their way, if you bother them or if they feel threatened.</div>

As we drove around in our pontoon boat, we approached two different crocodiles! We learned that crocodiles have hollow teeth. They can have up to 42 sets, yes 42 SETS for each tooth! They live for about seventy years and as they age, they lose their teeth. Generally, crocodiles do not die from other predators, they die from starvation. They lose their teeth until they can no longer eat. It takes about two years, but they eventually starve to death. These dinosaur looking creatures don't look any nicer being close to them...they are still fearsome.</div>

I got the opportunity to FaceTime my parents, and I was lucky that my three nephews were at their house. I got to see their adorable faces and walked throughout the lodge showing them the beauty there and, also, showing them our neighbours! My nephews got to see a small bit of South Africa through the amazing gift of technology. Half way around the world and I could still see three of my favourite humans.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had a nice shower, wandered through the town and got ready for dinner. Andy, 'Me, Brad and I started walking into town. It was dark, with the only light illuminating the restaurants and roadside businesses. We were chatting, and I looked up to see a large dark shadow. The shadow then came into a light and I grabbed Brad's arm and said "that's a hippo!!!" Everyone stopped dead in our tracks, and we watched a hippo cross in front of us, into a driveway to another safari lodge. Andy, being the safe and rational one, tried to convince us to go back to get the car, but we waited a couple minutes and continued on our way for a delicious dinner. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was a CRAZY experience!! A HIPPO CROSSED LESS THAN 10 FEET AWAY FROM US!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These dangerous, vicious animals we just saw and heard about on the boat ride had wandered right in front of us! Our very own safari! It was terrifying, but also thrilling! An experience of a lifetime.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I went to bed feeling absolutely thrilled and so excited about the incredible safari day and personal hippo crossing I got to experience.</div>

The next morning we left the safari lodge. In the morning, the waitresses were told that we saw a big hippo cross the road the night before. One of the ladies said "yeah", unenthusiastically. Brad then told her "you know, we were so scared, they kill so many people, they are so dangerous", to which her response was "Oh, no, not him". Must have been a townie!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Andy then drove us to a small town close to Durban. We wandered through a path with nice, lush trees and POOF! There was the Indian Ocean! </div>

<br />It was so beautiful. I had never seen or been in the Indian Ocean, so it was an absolute thrill to dip my feet in the warm, clean water. It was refreshing and such a great stop!</div>

We then visited the George Hotel. It is the only place in the world that brews and serves a beer called Zulu Blonde. We got to wander around the hotel and take photos, have a nice cold drink together and see their unique bars and hotel.</div>

SAFARI DAY!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were picked up this morning in a Jeep with zipper walls at 5am by our guide, Theo. He drove us about an hour to the Hluhluwe/Imfolozi Park. There are 96,000 sq hectares of safari land for the animals to roam.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was absolutely beautiful! </div>

We drove around and quickly began to see the gorgeous animals of South Africa. Our first view was of lions (which can be hard to find in SA), we then saw a rhino, elephants, a giraffe, impala and wildebeast! It doesn't matter if you have seen elephants before or not, when you get close to them, they are the most remarkable animals in the world. They are giant, and yet the look so gentle and sweet with their big eyelashes and giant ears. Gentle giants. </div>

As we were driving around, our guide spotted a cheetah high up in a tree. We could not believe how he could have spotted it (no pun intended). He told us it is very rare to see a cheetah. There are so few of them, that the park also tracks the cheetah. This one was wearing a large tracking collar. <br />Can you find it?</div>

This beautiful animal was astonishing to see and to watch. I could have stayed in that one spot for hours. We later went back to see the cheetah. We then went on to have a small breakfast in a large clearing. It was incredible to be out in the middle of a safari space and enjoy some hot tea, fruit and muffins. </div>

As we continued to drive, we met up with my old friends, the warthogs!! Did you know that warthogs sleep, rest and hide in holes when afraid? They line the holes with grass to make them warmer. Although they can dig holes, they normally use the holes dug by other animals. </div>

We were totally blown away by the size of the rhinos. This is a photo of a mother and baby. It's hard to think that something that large can still be cute, but really, all baby animals are!</div>

We had a great day at the Hluhluwe iMfolozi Safari Park. Thank you so much to our guide Theo, for finding so many animals on our trek. We have been told that seeing cats in South African can be a challenge, and we were graced with both lions and a cheetah. We had a great experience!</div>

Around 3pm we made our way to the dock where we would continue our safari journey, on a crocodile and hippo pontoon boat tour. Before we heading out, there was a young gentleman who was carving what he called "monkey apples". He dug out all of the fruit, carved the skin and made these hanging balls which could hold a tea light or bird seed. We purchased two of them and made our way down to the dock, where we waited for our boat into the water filled with hippos and crocs!</div>

Today we got packed up and ready to go on a safari! We are driving to St. Lucia today. We are all set for a long road trip with Brad, 'Me and Andy. We chatted excitedly about what we wanted to see. Although I have been on a safari before, it has been ten years and it is a thrilling experience that I cannot wait to see! I love elephants and warthogs so was hoping to see them up close!</div>

As we drove through Lesotho to South Africa, we noticed a change in the scenery. There were less mountains, more hills and fields and fields full of sugar care. The air smelled almost sweet as we drove by. There were yield signs for goats, hippos and crocodiles. </div>

It took us about nine hours to drive to the St. Lucia Safari Lodge. When we arrived there were palm trees, beautiful rooms with hot showers and full pressure water! There were also some rowdy neighbours that flooded the streets behind our lodge... but darn were they cute!</div>

They were so adorable!! A little teaser of what was to come tomorrow at the safari. They ran up and down the streets, up the fences, in trees, and all over the walls. The locals told us not to feed them and not to pay any attention to them. They were just annoying little monkeys. I guess it would be like someone coming to Canada and feeding the seagulls. They are annoying and everywhere!</div>

I am so excited to be at this lodge and have time tomorrow to see some beautiful animals. It is also great to take a break and debrief with Andy and Brad about what we have seen, who we have met and how we can support AFMSDD and the Foster Homes more. </div>

That night we went into town and had a delicious curry dinner. While we were eating, six young guys in traditional South African dress began drumming and dancing beside the restaurant. They played beautiful music and danced in a magical rhythm. The drum they were playing looked like it was about 100 years old it was so beat up. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We walked back to the lodge and on the way I could not help but stop and marvel at the stars. With such little city light and pollution, the stars shine so bright here. It's amazing to think that everyone at home is looking into the same sky, but I'm on the opposite side of the world, seeing different stars. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The wifi connection was great so I was able to FaceTime with my husband, Mike. It was great to be able to see his face and talk with him. It's so hard to be away from your person, you don't realize how much you miss them until you see their face again. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After everything I have seen and experienced so far this week, it brings me great joy to know I am so lucky to have such an amazing partner, family and friends back at home. My world is full of love and I hope I can bring even the slightest amount of joy to the children here. My goal is to return to Canada and push full steam ahead with fundraising. We need people to realize how incredible our world is in Canada. We need people to see these children's faces, learn their names and become attached to them like I have. What amazing things we could do if everyone decided to give just a small amount of what we have through time, funds or an expertise.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Think about what you have and how much you have in your heart to give. These children need our support. We would love to have you join our team as a volunteer, part of a committee, through marketing support, as a monthly donor or as support for our World AIDS Day Gala.</div>

I woke up this morning around 9am, quite the sleep in, compared to the other days I've been here. I got ready and wandered around town once again. I found the Post office, where I sent family post cards, I visited a few book stores and purchased some Sesotho psalm books. As I returned, I stopped to watch the primary school sing and dance. They were singing the "One day, one day" song. It's a very fun song to sing and to see, the kids really get into it! It was a great start to the day.</div>

Andy arrived and we drove to visit the Positively Empowered Artisans craft workshop. These are three women who are all HIV+, who are working hard to create beautiful jewellery and handmade crafts to support themselves. One of the women has a little girl, and Andy told me that the little girl is not HIV+, so mom is taking her ARVs properly and they are working! </div>

We use broken jewellery and recreate one of a kind pieces with the beads from these amazing women. They take each small wooden bead and cover it in fabric to create the gorgeous pieces.</div>

We then hopped in Andy's car and drove to Makhoroana, a Foster Home in the "low lands", with beautiful mountains. When we arrived we were greeted by Tebong. Tebong is the son of our late Foster Mom Annah, and he looks remarkably like his mother. Although I never had the pleasure of meeting his mom, from photos, I could tell right away that he was her son. Tebong supports the chicken layers that Makhoroana runs as an income generating program. There are 220 chickens that lay eggs and support the Foster Home with the funds generated from them. If we could get the Foster Home closer to 500 chickens, the home could fully sustain itself, which of course, is the ultimate goal, sustainability. Tebong does a wonderful job with the chickens, ensuring they are well cared for and properly fed and hydrated.<br />

As the children were not home yet, we talked with Tebong and he offered to take us up the mountain for a better view of the village. We of course said yes! It was a beautiful little hike with the sun shining and not a cloud in the sky. We wandered through paths, past cows and beautiful flowers. We even got to see the mountains with snow still on them! Lesotho experiences seasons the opposite to Canada, so they were just coming out of their winter, entering spring. All the way up and down the hill I stopped to pick up crystal quartz. It was just like pebbles here, the quartz was all over the mountainside. I love crystals and it was amazing to get to collect quartz on the side of a mountain, to bring home a little piece of Lesotho.<br />

Refuoe was the first foster child we met. She is out of school, at the age of 19. She has a developmental delay and scoliosis. She is full of laughter and was very excited to meet us. She greeted us with a great big smile. She was shy at first, but warmed up to us quickly. It is difficult to know what the future will bring for Refuoe, whether we can find work for her and if she will ever leave the Foster Home. Thankfully, she is quite content at the home.</div>

Once the washing was complete, they got right to playing soccer. At this home, the ball was not like a regular soccer ball. It was made of wrapped plastic bags, one on top of another, and boy, did they kick it! Puseletso, Karabelo, Hlompho and a neighbour friend ran up and down the backyard, running as fast as their legs could take them to get one more goal against the others. After a while of them playing on their own, Brad and I joined in. We passed, kicked, and scored! </div>

Samuel also arrived at the home, and they joined in with us to play soccer for what felt like hours. We ran, laughed, cheered. We had our own World Cup in the backyard that day. I don't have many photos from that day, as rather than take photos of the kids playing, we decided to jump in and play with them. The plastic bag soccer ball continued to unravel as we played, but luckily we had several extra plastic bags in Andy's car that the kids were thrilled to use.<br />

Before we left, we high-fived all of the kids for an awesome game of competitive soccer. I must say, I was out of breath, to which I used the excuse that we were very high in elevation. I had told one of the elder committee members about how much I loved the crystal quartz. When we arrived back from our hike up the mountain, he found a piece of quartz bigger than my palm for me to take home. It was incredible to see the sparkling piece, and I was so thrilled to have that piece of Lesotho.</div>

It was a great day today hiking up the mountain and playing soccer with a plastic bag soccer ball. It was fun to jump into the lives of the kids after school and enjoy some pure play time. </div>

I have now been away from home for eight days, and I am truly sad to know that the trip is half over. It feels like it just began. Although I miss my husband, family and friends dearly, I could see myself setting down roots here and living out the rest of my days playing plastic bag soccer on the side of a crystal quartz filled mountain.</div>

From the Lithoteng Foster Home, we drove through Maseru, to the mall. On our way we discussed a few things about the kids, how our stay was. We had brought brand new mattresses, clean bedding and blankets from home, however we later found that I received about a dozen bed bug bites, which was NOTHING compared to my travel partner's bites. Sadly, they covered his back, his arms, neck, and ankles, and throughout our trip they continued to surface. We also encountered a very large rat while cooking dinner the night before that had the kids moving furniture and running around to try to catch and dispose of it (which we were not successful at). These are small issues in the grand scheme of things, but coming from the homes we do and the privilege we have, it is hard to know that these kids fight with bed bugs and a time or two have to deal with a rat. What gives me great relief though is knowing how much love is in each of these homes, and that our children are under a safe roof, with food in their bellies, medication for their ailments and a family to support them.</div>

While at the Maseru mall, we had a very Western lunch at a restaurant called 'Spur'. It was a somewhat offensively marketing Native American chain that had a massive menu. We all had wings, nice cold Coca Cola and headed off to Mohalalitoe. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
When we arrived at the home, Samuel was there but most of the kids were still in school. There are eight children in this home: Tsoanelo 22, Tsepo 18, Moshoeshoe 17, Ralineo 15, Nthabiseng 10, Mpho 9, Retabile 5 (sibling of Mpho) and Relebohile 5. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first little person we met was Relebohile. She is an absolutely beautiful little girl with giant eyes and long eyelashes. Samuel introduced us and then told us about her. Relebohile was placed with her aunt after her single mother passed away. Her aunt worked nights and was believed to be a sex worker. She would leave Relebohile at home for very long periods of time, and then return angry to abuse the little girl. Because of this, Samuel told us that she can be very withdrawn and takes a long time to warm up to others. She did however enjoy the company of Samuel, and played cards with him as we waited for her siblings to come home. My goal that day was to get one smile, one reaction or, biggest hope, to play a game with her. </div>

When the kids came home, they all sat down and ate some samp and beans for an after school snack. After the snack, Mpho and Nthabiseng coloured while we talked- they were creating drawings for their "new friend", Brad's daughter, for him to bring back to Canada for her. Once they were finished, we went outside with a bouncy ball and skipping rope. We did tricks with coins and our hands, played with the bouncy ball and catch. While everyone was playing together, Relebohile would continue to go off on her own. She was very quiet. She'd watch us laugh and play games from the side but very cautiously. Throughout the day I continued to try to connect with her, but I knew it may take more than a day to earn the trust of this little girl.</div>

The girls skipped, played ball and showed me their cut out paper house game they played. The girls cut out magazines with women, food and living room furniture. They cut slices in the furniture and slid the characters and food into the spaces to make scenes. It is their version of paper dolls.</div>

At Mohalalitoe they have baby rabbits. The goal of the rabbits is to raise them, allow them to breed and sell the full grown rabbits or use them for food. While the young ones played, the older boys deconstructed the old rabbit cage, and began building a brand new one. They worked from the time they got home from school and continued as we left for the day.</div>

As we played and talked, Relebohile began to get closer and closer while watching us do tricks and play with the bouncy ball. Brad taught Retabile how to bounce a ball and catch it in his shirt, and it was the winning trick. He was so proud when he caught the ball in his shirt, and continued to do so.</div>

Every child has reacted in their own way to us visiting them. Some are thrilled, some are silly, others are uninterested and some simply enjoy having someone who is giving them full attention to PLAY. Relebohile took much longer than any of the other children to warm up to me. I tried helping her adjust her skipping rope, bouncing the ball to her, making silly faces, but the true way to engage her was to give her the time to realize we were there to play and just enjoy the time with her. She is a remarkable little girl, as are each and every one of the children I have met so far. They each have a story that breaks your heart into a million pieces, and yet they each are full of so much joy and wonder. Like all other children, they enjoy time to play, time to giggle and be silly, and time with their friends and siblings. </div>

It was a great day to have time with the kids to meet them, play with them and have a short time to bond. Each child has a different story, a different journey and a different path they are on. These children are each remarkable and it was a true honour to be able to be part of their lives, <br />even just for one day. </div>

We left the home on our way back to the Nun's convent with full hearts. I was exhausted from the lack of sleep and roller coaster ride of emotion. I fell asleep that night thinking of how much healthier little Karabelo is now, how brave Ithumeleng and Ithabeleng are, and how the support of Samuel, the Foster Mother and siblings have given Relebohile the opportunity to be a little girl again, to trust and let go of fear of adults, since coming to the Foster Homes. </div>

Part One<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This morning we all work up around 5am from Ithabeleng saying it was time to get up. Yes- her internal alarm clock worked!! In the tradition of all teenage girls, the four others said no and that they needed more time to sleep. I got up, got changed and packed up our things. I went into the kitchen where Ithabeleng and I made porridge. </div>

Porridge is a staple for these kids. It is inexpensive, it is easy to make (we mixed the dry bag with some boiling water and small amount of sugar), it makes a ton of food, and it fills the belly. In the homes, the main question for food is, will the kids have full bellies for their day at school. The porridge fills the belly, but there is little nutritional value to it. These kids lack a lot of the nutritional content still that we take for granted in North America. It is much more expensive to serve yoghurt, fruit and healthy omelettes for breakfast. For those things, you also need a fully functioning fridge at all times. Our foster homes are well equipped, but at times, there is no power to the fridge here and right now it is being used as a storage container. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After our porridge, the kids got dressed in their uniforms and school outfits and we were off to walk them to two different schools. The older kids left on their own to go to high school. Bokang and Khotso posed, very proud in their uniforms, while Ithabeleng tied everyone's ties for school.</div>

On our way we sang the "One day" song that 'Me sang with the kids frequently. "One day, one day," then the kids echo, "my mother said", echo, "stir the porridge, stir the porridge" kids then echo again. You repeat and change the words to "cook the porridge" and other things. It gets very lively, loud and always ends in giggling. On our way to school we talked about their classes, their teachers and how we would write to one another. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We dropped Khotso off at his Catholic school, and Bokang and Ithameleng were persistent that they wanted us to meet their principal. Little did we know, their principal lived in a house close by the school. Bokang went right up to her door and knocked loudly. She came out in what looked like a house coat and a blanket, shocked to see us. We thanked her for meeting us, shook her hand and she said that the girls are great students, they come to school with clean clothes and are always polite. It was nice to hear the praise from the principal (especially after we knocked on her door and interrupted her early morning).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We said our goodbyes and I think I hugged the girls at least half a dozen times. I knew this was the last time I'd see them for a very long time. I turned away from them with a lump in my throat, holding back the tears, and put my sunglasses back on so they could not see my eyes. These girls, in just a day, had become a part of me, and had stolen my heart.</div>

We continued to walk, and Ithumeleng asked if we wanted to see Khotso, Seboka & Litsiso's school, so we turned and went to visit. We met Khotso's teacher at the gate, and she brought us up in front of hundreds of children from the school. They asked me to give them some advice. I first thanked them for having us at their school, and we were so grateful to meet them all. I then told them to work hard in school, to love one another and to also remember to play hard. The principal then asked if any of them wanted to thank us, and four children were chosen to come up, shake my hand and say thank you. They then began to sing and stomp their feet to a song that means something along the lines that they are soldiers of Africa and that they sing and walk in support of one another. They sing this song until all of the children are in their classes. </div>

It was amazing to see all of the kids in unison singing and stomping. We met with the principal and some of the kid's teachers. We then got to say goodbye to Khotso, Seboka and Litsiso. This goodbye was no easier than the last one. </div>

Ithumeleng then walked us back to the Foster Home. On our way, we talked about her life, her dreams and her goal of someday becoming a doctor. She goes to a school where homework is assigned to her, and she needs to complete the tasks from home. She can go to the school to work with other students when she can get there, but she is often working from home. That day, Samuel was coming to bring her to school, and she was ecstatic. She waited anxiously at the door for him. Time with children her age right now is rare, so when she has the opportunity to attend school with other girls her age, she jumps at it. It was a wonderful day for her.</div>

When we returned to the home, the babies were up being bathed. Once they had been bathed, they came outside full of smiles. I got them all a bowl of porridge and sat down to feed Karabelo. As mentioned before, when arriving at the home, she was extremely malnourished. When I sat down to feed her, she was hungry. She ate two heaping bowls of porridge. She is making up for lost time. She then played with my sunglasses and playfully tugged at my necklace.</div>

Andy arrived, and it was time to head out. I hugged Ithumeleng tight. She gave me one of her school photos and we said we will write to one another. She is such a brave young woman. I said goodbye to 'Me, Bohloka, Karabelo and Tsireletso. Before hopping in the back seat of the car, I gave Ithumeleng one more hug and told her to continue to work hard and that I was so grateful to have had the time with her. Once again, I put my sunglasses on and walked to the car so she could not see my eyes. I am so grateful for the time I have had with these amazing children. I would have been happy to stay there, frozen in time, feeding those babies, walking to school in the morning and singing praise songs under the beautiful Lesotho sun. </div>

I awoke this morning so excited. Today is the day that I will sleep over at the Lithoteng Foster Home! We arrived at the home, two very happy dogs and our Social Worker, Samuel was there to greet us. All of the children but four were in school. Three wee ones- Bohlokoa (age 4), Karabelo (age 2), Tsireletso (9 months) and Ithumeleng (age 16).</div>

I sat with Samuel for some time learning about the children in this Foster Home. There are eleven children in this home. The Foster Mother is 'Me Mansentle. Our children are Keneuoe 17, Ithumeleng 16, Khunong, who goes by "Tato" 15, Seboka 14, Litsiso 13, Ithabeleng 12, Bokang 12, Khotso 10, Bohlokoa 4, Karabelo 2 and Tsireletso 9 months. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The children are doing well in this Foster Home. They are learning and growing as siblings, and working as a family to ensure that everyone is happy and healthy. The five girls sleep in one bedroom, the three boys in another, and the three babies in a bedroom beside the girl's room. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was quickly approached and pulled in by the little girl Karabelo. She is two years old, and arrived with her two siblings Bohlokoa and Tsireletso after he mother passed away. When she arrived at the Foster Home, she was unable to walk, had lost a lot of hair, was malnourished and did not speak. Because of the state that the three children arrived in, for the first few days of having them in the home, Samuel feared that each call he made or received to/from the home would bring news that this beautiful baby girl had been lost. Thankfully, because of the care, nutrition and love from her siblings and new family, she is now booting around the home, giggling, laughing and talking! </div>

After some time, the kids started to arrive home from school. They were excited and full of energy. We had brought a brand new soccer ball that the kids were thrilled to have to play with. It was a huge hit. My hair was also a hit with the girls. They brushed it, braided it and played with different hair styles for about forty-five minutes.</div>

Ithabeleng was the one who started- she began brushing and playing with my hair, saying it was "beautiful" and I should keep growing more and more and that she would love to have my hair (we pretended and put it on her head several times over the next two days).</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
We continued to play soccer, sing, dance, tell stories and play with the kids until it became dark and with no light in the kitchen, it was going to be difficult to cook dinner so we got to work. We purchased food for a special dinner for them. We made a tomato, avocado and cucumber salad, beef and rice, and we bought a chocolate cake for dessert! We had purchased chips as well but the kids had already had a snack, so those were saved for another day. The dinner was a huge hit! Bokang helped chop and prepare the salad with Brad and Ithabeleng helped me prepare the rice and beef.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It was wonderful to have a big hearty dinner together. After dinner, the family got together and sang in the kitchen. They sang slow songs and fun upbeat songs. They continue to praise God for all of the amazing gifts that have been brought to them. This is a house filled with grateful children. Each one of these kids loves their family and showed gratitude to even the smallest things. Even after such sad and horrible things having happened in their lives, they continue to thank for what they do have.</div>

It was time for bed so we all got ready and then the girls got out their homework. Ithabeleng was so proud to show me her marks and how she is doing so well in school. Keneuoe, Litsiso and Ithumeleng asked for help with their English so we sat together and went over several passages of reading, and then they had to write a short composition about a good day they had. </div>

Part way through homework, Ithabeleng got up and took the babies to their bedroom, beside the girl's room. She got the three of them ready for bed with their water and formula, with diapers changed and laid down for bed time. The three youngest sleep in a bedroom beside the girl's room with 'Me.</div>

As 17, 16, 13 and 12 year old girls, they do an amazing job of supporting one another. There is no bickering, there is laughter, dancing and help for homework before bed. As we were laying down, Keneuoe asked me if I knew Rihanna and Beyonce, which I of course said YES!! They then got up and started singing "Work, work, work, work, work" and danced together as they all laughed. They made me get up and dance as we all sang together. I told them they needed to teach me better rhythm and we all laughed together. They asked me to teach them the national anthem, so I sang it slowly to them in English and French as they tried to learn the words. We then all laid down in our beds, me on a mattress in between all of the beds, which they were very happy about. There are two sets of bunk beds and one day bed in the room. The girls have begun to call me "Sister Candice". I think it's my favourite name I've had so far.</div>

Before we fell asleep, I asked the girls if they were going to set an alarm for school, and Ithabeleng pointed to her head and said "we don't use one", I wake up from this", tapping her head. I asked her, if that meant that she woke up naturally around 5am, and once again, she tapped her head and said yes. It will be interesting to see if we do wake up in time to get ready for school.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ithumeleng asked if she could tell me a "sad story". I said yes. She told me that there is a girl in her class who comes to school with no shoes, torn clothing, no books and always hungry. She said, "we have so much here, and she has nothing." It took everything in me to hold back the tears. This 16 year old girl has THIS perspective. Ithumeleng has come from a very difficult past. She was abused physically and sexually when she was younger, she lives in a foster home with ten other children and she is epileptic. She feels so grateful for all that she has, and so sad for the girl who has nothing. I went to bed that night thinking of how incredible these young girls are.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The lights were left on all night, and they slept under the covers because Ithabeleng said they are "scared" without the lights on. We said our goodnights and I got to fall asleep in a room filled with five new sisters and a full heart. In the middle of the night, around 4am, I heard the baby crying, and looked up to see Ithabeleng walking back and forth in the hallway with her strapped to her back. She was cooing and rocking her back to sleep.</div>

I am truly grateful for the opportunity to have this special time with these children at Lithoteng, and for my five new sisters whose relationships and time I will treasure forever.</div>

This morning we went to an Anglican church service on site with the nuns. We were asked to speak, so I thanked everyone for having us there and that we were so grateful for the opportunity and experience. There was a little boy, probably about three years old who stared and played games for the entire service. He was fascinated by us and couldn't take his eyes off of us...I also found him quite entertaining. The pastor spoke of the inequalities in the world and how priority seating works at a wedding. He said one day, he hopes we have one big table where there is no head and we are all equal. It was a very peaceful, quiet service, with a beautiful message.<br />

I then went wandering downtown and stopped at a church called "Church of Jesus Christ" because from the road I could hear them screaming and singing. It was something out of a movie. Everyone was in traditional Lesotho hats and blankets, hands in the air, singing and praising. The paster was shouting "If the devil finds his way into our hearts or our house we say" and the congregation shouted back "GET OUT OF MY HOUSE". They repeated this several times, with loud cheering and singing. I find it fascinating how only a few blocks away, there could be such difference in the practice of faith. It is amazing to see how different people connect to different teachings and guidance. Each person connects to faith in their own way, it was truly remarkable to see two such different teachings in one morning.<br />
<br />
Andy picked us up at 1:30pm and we headed to Lerobane Foster Home. We drove through dirt paths and off road to park in the middle of the field by a stream to hike up to the home.<br />

This foster home, Lerobane, has a piggery project, raising several small pigs to sell once full size. This is one of the income generating activities that Bracelet of Hope supports at the Foster Home. Lerobane Foster Home has nine children and two foster parents, 'Me Mamosebetsi and Ntate Bohlokoa. This home includes the family with the small boy, Khotso, who has the same birthday as me, and a brave young woman named Mamokhele.<br />
<br />
When we arrived, everyone was still at church so we checked out the piggery and chatted on the hill. Then after some time, we heard noise and voices on the hill. The tiny faces whose photos have decorated my walls, my office and home and who I felt like I knew before I had met, came around the corner to greet me! They were so excited (as was I)! We all hugged and went inside the home. We gave them gifts and they played quietly after introducing themselves. We then took out the soccer ball- the ultimate ice breaker! We played catch, monkey in the middle and soccer. We danced, sang and laughed. You never image the lives these children have had before coming to the home.<br />

While visiting the Foster Home, I realized that every single one of these children had a story that rips your heart out, and they have come so far from where they were. I could write a blog post on each child but I have decided to focus on two girls at Lerobane, Mamokhele and Ntaoleng. </div>

This is Mamokhele. She is 15 years old. She is the eldest sister to her four siblings- Relebohile, Khotso, Sello, Malofetsane and nephew- Justice. At the age of twelve, Mamokhele lost both of her parents, leaving her eldest sister in charge, who had a young baby. Shortly after her parents passed, her sister also passed away, leaving her, at the age of 12, the head of the household, with five young children to care for. She left school and began selling straw hats and items to make money. However after some time of struggling, the Ministry heard of their situation and looked for someone to support them. A family member was able to take in two of the boys, and the </div>

Lerobane Foster home took in the others. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since coming to the home, Mamokhele has been given back her childhood. She has returned to school, she has Foster Parents to care for her, cook dinner and support her and her younger siblings. After a wonderful Christmas break, Mamokhele requested to visit the village to see her two brothers who had stayed with a family member. When she arrived, she found that the boys were working hard as herd boys, and not attending school. She went back to the Foster Home and requested a second visit. This time, she did not leave them behind. Mamokhele brought her brothers back with her on her return. The two boys are now in a Foster Home close by to her, attending school and being cared for by a lovely Foster Mother. She knew in her heart that she could not quit, she could not leave behind family, and so the brave little girl fought to keep her family together, and ensure that all of her siblings had access to education, nutrition and love. Even though Mamokhele is being cared for, she still takes on a very motherly role in the home, helping cook, clean and care for the younger children. She showed me how to start a fire to cook rice and she talked about her younger siblings and how grateful she is to be at Lerobane. Her strength and bravery is unlike any young girl I have ever known, and I was so honoured to have some time with her- just us girls. </div>

Ntaoleng was found in the garbage. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have no knowledge of her parents, or family and when she arrived at Lerobane, she did not have much hair, she was extremely malnourished, withdrawn and did not react to others. Her story is sadly not out of the ordinary in Lesotho. With over 200,000 orphans in the country, there is no one to care for them. Thankfully for us, and Ntaoleng, she was brought to us where our 'Me Mamosebetsi and Ntate Bohlokoa could feed her, care for her and give her the love and support she deserves. She can now continue to grow as the silly, loving little girl who's smile lights up the room. When thinking of this beautiful child, and discussing her with my friend and travel partner Brad, he remarked that she was the epitome of the saying "one man's garbage is another man's gold". Ntaoleng truly is a tiny piece of gold, and a young girl who now has the opportunity to grow up to be a strong, brave woman. I am so grateful to have met this little girl.</div>

After spending the day at Lerobane and meeting nine remarkable children, we had to say goodbye. It was hard to hug them goodbye and walk down the hill away from them. This is only the first of six foster homes, nine of our 38 children. You get so connected to these smiling faces so quickly. Being able to spend a day with them to play, hug, laugh, read stories and learn about their lives is something I will treasure every day. </div>

These kids give me fuel to continue to raise awareness, talk about HIV/AIDS, ask for support. <br />1 in 4 people in Lesotho are HIV+. This has left over 200,000 orphans in a country of only 2 million. Yes, 1 in 10 PEOPLE in this country are orphaned children, just like Ntaoleng and Mamokhele. We can continue to provide support for these children by taking them off the streets, out of orphanages and into homes like Lerobane where they are provided all of the nutrition, medication and support they need and deserve. These orphans are given their childhood back, they are in school, learning, and growing, just as a child should. My heart bleeds for these children. They are the fuel to my passion to continue to work hard to make a difference, no matter how small it may be. We are only providing for a fraction of the orphans in the country. We need support and help to continue to expand and take on more children. The need is so great.</div>

I awoke around 4am unable to sleep so I read the Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks (great book). Around 6am the roosters were 'cock-a-doodle-doo-ing', the nuns were ringing their bell and someone was taking a bath in the washroom beside my bedroom. Dogs were barking, the sun was shining and the day had begun. I curled up in my fleece and rolled over to read more. I finally got up around 8:30am and had a cold shower under a very low pressure stream, but after two days of travel, it felt like the best shower I'd ever had. I wandered around the compound taking photos and listening to music from town.<br />

Andy picked us up at noon. We went to his house, met his 208 chickens and his dog. We hopped onto the highway to visit two craft places. The first was a beautiful store in Hlotse, the Leribe Craft Centre. On our way, we were stopped abruptly by the presence of a very large pig in the middle of the road, who did not seem to care that we were on our way to shop! Kids smiled and yelled and ran alongside the car on the hills. Peach trees lined the roads with their beautiful pink flowers. When they are ripe in November, I was told the entire country smells sweet. People hang the skins to dry on clothing lines and children enjoy the sweet taste of the fruit leather. We stopped in at two craft centres. At the second, the Hatoa Mosi Mosali, where they sell crafts from the members of the crafting cooperative Lesotho Mountain Crafts. <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;"> </span>I bought many handmade items from the women working so hard there. There were wall hangings, beautiful jewellery, cloth animals, bags and of course, the sweet smiles of adorable children.</div>

We drove to the Blue Mountain Hotel for a drink and saw a little girl wearing a "Miss Sunday School" sash that she was very proud of. We had a great conversation over our drink. In Lesotho, 1 in 4 people are HIV+ which has left 1 in 10 people in the country as orphaned children. I continue to ask, why does no one care? What can we do to make people realize that although in North America, HIV/AIDS is a very treatable chronic disease, this problem has not been taken care of in the same manner in Lesotho. How do we help? How do we let people know about this crisis?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Andy told us about a story of a boy who had cut open his foot. Andy rushed him to the hospital and waited in the emergency room. A nurse later came out to tell they to wait as they did not have the key to the cabinet for the medication to freeze the boy's foot before giving him stitches. After about 45 minutes, a nurse came back out and asked Andy to bring the boy in, and hold him down. Unknowing to Andy, he was to hold the boy down because she needed to give the boy about ten stitches without the freezing. This was not because the medication wasn't available, it was because the key to the cabinet that held the medication was not available. Sometimes in Lesotho, small issues can make for large problems. There are at times, issues of resource and support. In some public hospitals, there may only be five doctors for up to 200 beds. </div>
<br />
I think of my nephews and the life they have compared to the life the children in Lesotho face. Why are we so lucky to have been born in Canada? Why are we given the abundance that we have, and the health and wealth is not shared? How is there such inequity in the world? There must be a better way to live. A better way to spread resources. How do we empower, support and educate ourselves to spread health and wealth throughout the world?<br />

Big questions for the second day.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For me, it starts with small steps. Take action. Educate myself on what is going on in Lesotho. Go home, fundraise, discuss, share. If you'd like to join me, to learn more about what we are doing for the children of Lesotho, you can read more at our <a href="http://braceletofhope.ca/homes-supporting-orphans.php" target="_blank">website</a> and you can support these children that you will learn more about over the upcoming two weeks in my blog by <a href="http://braceletofhope.ca/donations-monthly.php" target="_blank">becoming a monthly donor</a> or making a donation of any kind to our work <a href="http://braceletofhope.ca/donations-one-time.php" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>

As I fell asleep I tried to bring my brain to a lighter place, so I thought of the new words I learned today: </div>
<br />
Ntate "en-dod-day" is the word used for a father, man or in place of Mr./Sir<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
'Mme "may" is the word used for a mother, woman or in place of Mrs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ausi "ow-see" is the word used for a younger woman/girl, or in place of sister/girl</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Abuti "a-boot-ee" is the word used for younger men/boy or in place of brother/boy</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So far I have been called Ausi, but I have been told it's because I am short, small and look much younger than a 'Me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I look forward to tomorrow- I will be attended church onsite here and visiting the first Foster Home, Lerobane. </div>

<br />
Almost ten years to the date I set out on a journey to broaden my horizons, see the world and change my perspective on life. I travelled to Kenya by myself to meet up with a team from Habitat for Humanity from September-October 2006.<br />
<br />
It is Friday, August 26, 2016 at 2:40am and I am in a Wimpy Diner in Johannesburg Airport with many other weary travellers sleeping in booths after eating some greasy fries and burgers, trying to pass the time with e-readers, iPhones and journals. This is stop 2/3 on this trek.<br />
<br />
I arrived at Pearson on Wednesday, August 24th after a teary goodbye to my husband Mike (we have never been apart this long). The flight from Toronto to Amsterdam was about seven hours. I watched a few movies but could not sleep from the excitement. I was then on to the beast of the flights- the 10.5 hr flight to Johannesburg. We arrived a 9:30pm and everything was closed. I didn't care- I'M BACK IN AFRICA!!! I had so much time to kill, from 10pm-6:40am in the airport.<br />
<br />
The flight from Johannesburg to Maseru was only about an hour and a half. I met two out of the six people on the plane, one a reggae musician and the other a social service person who was in Washington at a Mandela convention. We talked the entire way about the state of the world, what we were looking forward to in Lesotho, and where we had come from. When we landed, there were several government officials lined up on the runway to commemorate and remember the 2014 coup. I walked through the gates and there was our Country Representative, Andy, waiting for us. It was so great to see a familiar face.<br />

<br />
We hopped into the car and drove to the Maseru mall to get a SIM card, adapter and breakfast. In traditional Knope style, I had waffles. It still felt like a dream, that I had yet to arrive. We then got into the car to start our drive to the nun convent where I would be staying. As we got closer to the city of Hlotse, my heart started to beat fast and the sights and sounds from ten years ago came rushing back. The bright sun, dirt roads, market vendors, the music, laughing children, cows and goats on the side of the road and half built buildings and churches. We drove through small towns and districts with brick homes and tin roofs.<br />
<br />
Oh, Dear African Sun, how I have missed you. Yes. This feels like home. <br />

<br />
We pulled into the nun's convent to a beautiful little place with several small homes and a hostile for girls who go to school close by. Sister Lebohang greeted us in full nun attire with a big hug and smile. The place is stunning. Beautiful little gardens with succulents growing from nothing, peach trees blossoming, fences tied together with string and driftwood.<br />
<br />
This is where I feel I belong. There is a serenity and peace that overtook me and calmed me. I feel settled, calm, this feels like home.<br />

I wandered though the small town, across to the grocery store, around a bustling street full of singers, road side Vodacom booths, vendors selling pork grilled over a small fire and brooms made of straw. As I wandered through the markets I met a woman who stopped to shake my hand and welcome me. We spoke for a few moments and she told me my name should be "Mohau" which means Grace in English. As I walked the streets, I realized every child I passed was waving and giggling, and I may just be one of the only white people in the village or that they had seen, at least in a while. What a difference to know you stand out, to feel you are being stared at, to not understand the language or the customs and to be seen as someone different.<br />
<br />
For all of the feelings of sticking out, the people of Lesotho welcomed me with open arms, shaking my hand, hugging me, saying "Lumela" (hello) and greeting me with smiles.<br />
<br />

That night, we met Andy and his partner 'Me Maklompho for dinner at the hotel across the street. I had a tea, pizza and a Maluti beer. We laughed, told stories, and discussed what the next two weeks would bring. When I returned the nun convent, I climbed into my bed that was covered in warm Lesotho blankets and fell asleep with a full heart.<br />
<br />
I am so grateful to be in Africa, in Lesotho, and to have this incredible experience. I'm grateful to have a husband who loves and supports me and I'm grateful for the life I have and the home I will return to.<br />
<br />
Tomorrow is a new day. A new day in LESOTHO!<br />

<br />
I had been an inpatient at Grand River Hospital for about a week, a crash start on dialysis and a newbie in the world of renal. I had never heard of creatinine, heparin or hemo, and at the age of twenty-three I had definitely never had a catheter, a sponge bath or my daily percentage of sodium monitored.<br />
<br />
But there I was. A crash course in all things kidney.<br />
<br />
The night before I was admitted to the hospital I went to the movie Stepbrothers, ate nachos, candy and played games on the deck with my parents and now husband. That weekend I was planning on going to Toronto to a party with friends. I dreamed, I danced, I was a normal twenty-three year old.<br />
<br />
I had been feeling extremely fatigued and had flu like symptoms for quite some time, so my mother persisted that I go to the doctor to ensure nothing was wrong. After much annoyance, I listened and got blood work done.<br />
<br />
The call came at 2am. My mom answered to a cold voice on the other line asking "Is Candice Coghlan there", which she replied "Yes, who is this? She is sleeping". "This is the lab at Grand River Hospital, can you please make sure is just sleeping?". My mother whipped open my bedroom, flew on the lights and I was in the car faster than I could fall back asleep.<br />
<br />
Once admitted, after several vials of blood taken, multiple IV injections, medications and no word on why I was there, a doctor came to visit. He stood in the doorway and said "You are in complete renal failure. Your creatinine is over 1000 and I am shocked you are alive. You will start dialysis tomorrow."<br />
<br />
Down the rabbit hole I went.<br />
<br />
I will explain more about the Adventures in Renal Land another day, but for now, I focus on that elevator.<br />
<br />
I had begun dialysis, multiple treatments and had been living in Grand River as an inpatient for a week or so. It was the middle of the afternoon and time to go down for my dialysis treatment. At the time I was exhausted and weak, so I used a wheelchair to get around. As with every treatment, my mom pushed me into the elevator to go down for the five hour cycle. I got in and went down one floor. The doors opened and three young people got in, laughing, telling a story and clearly excited for their plans in the sun that day.<br />
<br />
I don't recall what they said, or who they were but I will never forget their happiness.<br />
<br />
I remember being so angry at them. So angry that they were walking, that they were laughing, and that they were happy. I was angry that they were healthy and that they were leaving. They were ME, one week before, and it made me angry.<br />
<br />
Some days are tough. Some days you question why? Some days you aren't strong.<br />
<br />
I was so full of rage and sadness but I got out of that elevator. I did my dialysis. I did it for just over a year, and I was blessed with a transplant from the same woman who pushed me to my dialysis each day. I am treated now and have a pretty normal life as a transplant recipient. <br />
<br />
But I will never forget the elevator. In that moment, I questioned why?<br />
<br />
I had the luxury of getting treatment that gave me back my life. I HAVE the luxury of living in a country where I didn't pay the $60,000 it costs to do dialysis for one year, or the $23,000 to have the transplant, or the $6,000-$10,000 per year now for the anti-rejection medication. I had the luxury of having a mom who would and COULD give me a kidney. I HAVE the luxury of taking medication that keeps me alive.<br />
<br />
No, I am not cured. There is no cure, but there is treatment. Really, really, really great treatment. Treatment that is readily available to me, treatment that has low side effects, treatment that gives me freedom. Treatment that lets me walk around and have no one know I am a kidney recipient. Treatment that allowed me to finish my degree, buy a house and marry my favourite person. Treatment that lets me work a job that I adore, that I am passionate about and that I am proud of.<br />
<br />
The people who I work for, the people I rally for, the people who give me hope and passion, the people of Lesotho; they do not have the same luxuries.<br />
<br />
We lost a beautiful soul yesterday, one of our Foster Mothers, Annah. I did not have the pleasure of meeting her but through stories, photos and emails from our friends in Lesotho, I was able to learn about her incredible heart, her strength and her passion to raise up to eight children at a time in our Foster Homes. Annah had cervical cancer and was HIV+. Many of our Foster Children are also HIV+. In fact, 1 in 4 people in Lesotho are HIV+, which has left behind over 200,000 orphaned children.<br />
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Despite the country making progress in many areas, Lesotho’s HIV treatment coverage for adults and children still remains low. The treatment that they do have is also not the same treatment we have in Canada. Securing funding for HIV programmes is vital to ensuring increased coverage. This begs the question WHY?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Why don't we have more funding? Why can't we get them the medication they need? Why can't we get a LOUDER voice for the people fighting HIV/AIDS every day? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Why don't people care that our children are dying? </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><br /></b></span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Our mothers, our grandmothers, our fathers, our children are dying. </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Over 20 years ago HIV was a death sentence in Canada but now, it is a chronic, manageable disease, with very reliable treatment. We need the same results in Lesotho. We need to keep fighting to stop HIV from taking the lives of those we love.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">We can't stop fighting for the ones we love. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">My family didn't stop fighting for me. </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><br /></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>I won't stop fighting. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">So join me. Join us. Join the fight. </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">We need your help. We need your voice.</span><span style="color: red; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><a href="http://www.braceletofhope.ca/">www.braceletofhope.ca</a></b></span></div>
