Wow! Today we went to the MaAfrika Tikkun "Center of Excellence" in Delft, just outside of Cape Town & visited an old African woman in her home-she is 99 years old & is in amazing shape!! She has over 30 grandkids and said she now has children in the US :)

After our home visits we toured the main medical clinic in Delft. MaAfrika Tikkun has a partnership with them to serve the needs of this impoverished community. The place was really busy but they told us it was one of their slow days...

We then returned to the MaAfrika Tikkun Center of Excellence and toured the whole facility. Like its sister centers they provide a full circle of services to the community including hot meals twice a day, two snacks, health service visits, in home food deliveries, sporting activities, gardening, documentation assistance (for birth certificates & miscellaneous documents), clothing assistance, counseling and more...  

After the tour we helped serve the lunch in the kitchen. They feed about 160 people a day at the Deflt location & the menu is planned by a nutritionalist. The food is awesome! We finished the day by participating in the dancing, games and sporting activities - they have such an amazing program there!! :)
