September 26, 2013 YM/YW Beach Cleanup

The youth in the branch have really scored this week with two activities, both involving the beach.  Today was a beach cleanup and there was a good turnout.  There were twelve youth, seven girls and 5 boys plus Rick and I and Sister Vulindlu the YW 1^st councilor and Brother Kondile the YM president.  

They cleaned up mostly seaweed as there really wasn’t much garbage and then about 11:30 we started ferrying them to the church for an ice cream treat.  All was done at the appointed ending time of 1pm.

Rick and I then headed to East London for the Zone Conference tomorrow and dinner tonight with President Wood and his wife, the Boyce’s and the Chase’s.  We again had dinner at Grazias which is always a good place to eat.  We stayed at Shiraz B&B once again.  We like it a lot. The Chases stay there as well, but are not looking forward to having to find it by themselves when we leave.
