Khayelitsha

We visited a township for the first time. Just east of Muizenberg is a township with an estimated poplulation of 800,000 - 1 million people. Our friend Sara brought us to see the Sibongeli Orphanage, which provides day care and orphanage care for children with Cerebral Palsy. Inspiring to see what they've managed to create and how they've managed to educate and empower local people. Out of respect for the children, we did not photograph any of them (too bad - they were so cute and smiley). We did catch a shot of some schoolchildren, though, who were equally cute and smiley.

This soccer field was built by FIFA in the months leading up to the 2010 World Cup. Can you tell it's winter with some of the kids wearing knit caps?
