Cameron Cann visited us today to tell us about his time volunteering as a PE coach in the Capricorn Primary School in South Africa. He shared with the children what life was like on a daily basis showing them a video of a typical street with no grass; shops and business made out of disused freight containers and lots of rubbish and squalor. Their home lives were very tough due to the poverty and hardship so they found school a place of solace and enjoyment. They had no phones, iPads, X-boxes and not much money for clothes yet Cameron expressed how the children were so happy with their friends and games they played. He shared videos of a sports carnival and the children singing and dancing and enjoying music - of which they did a lot! Cameron spoke about the inspirational people that he had met and how they had overcome adversity and hardship and were persevering with their goals. He also interestingly told us about the food he had enjoyed particularly ostrich and lots of mango. In our prayers, we thought about how lucky we are here in Framlingham and prayed for the children at the Capricorn Primary School.
