My African Family

Cape Flats, South Africa (day 42)

I have grown very close to Zackoni* ,a Xhosa lady the age of my mother. After much discussion she has informally adopted me. Today I went to church with her. Zackoni is a strong, beautiful black women and I have grown to love her. After church we went to her home in the Flats for a meal. Her family is beautiful and are a testament to her.  I had an amazing day and will treasure the memories forever.
