The White-ies are Coming!

Walking through Ocean View (the township where we are working several days a week) the children were shouting in Afrikaans, “The White-ies are coming! The White-ies are coming!”

Well, I can’t say I’ve ever been called a White-ie before. But I guess I am – a White-ie that is. I was with my White-ie husband and White-ie kids. We can’t help but feel rather pasty in all our whiteness.

Jensen however – doesn’t know she’s white – and I don’t think we’ll be mentioning that to her any time soon.

Here are some friends she's made in Ocean View.

Note: Ocean View is the least "poor" of three communities where All Nations works. However, it's plagued with unemployment, crime, rape and murder.
