I can't believe that your time at Itip...Malo Jesse,<br />I can't believe that your time at Itipini and Mthatha is coming to the end of it's final chapter! Every single day for the past 2 years,<br />you have so generously and open-heartedly shared your amazingly wonderful brand of human kindness and sunshine, especially with the kids at Itipini! If I had to choose one favorite video-flash of you, it would be of you at Itipini, playing tag with a veritable army of joyful, rambunctious preschoolers...letting them tackle you and drag you down to the ground to roll and giggle in the dirt together...or then again, maybe it would be of you standing in the hot sun, tall as a tree, letting the kids climb on you like a jungle gym...or maybe it would be of you so easily talking in Xhosa with a young mother or TB regular in the clinic...or of you driving skillfully and FAST around the potholes, taking someone to somewhere they had to go...or of you patiently coaxing your high schoolers to read in English, or you playing a wild guitar and dancing and jumping around as you led the pre-schoolers in a song...or...O.K...I'd just have to choose all of the above and hundreds more!!! So, BRAVO, Dude!!!<br />A mission so incredibly well done! Harry and I send you all our best wishes, especially in the coming few weeks, and then on into the next exciting chapter of your life. Do please keep us posted and give our love to everyone, with an extra hug for Jenny.<br /> Ndiyakuthanda,<br /> SusanSusan Jergesennoreply@blogger.com
