After Lula, we visited K2 which was another step on down the line from Lula. The chap who showed us round told us to follow him as he follows Jesus which I thought was really lovely. They had substantial buildings and were planning groups for children to mentor them and train them with skills. Another problem that Africa is dealing with is that people don't stay in community to help the vulnerable. As soon as they get the oportunity of education or a job they move to more affluent areas. The vulnerable are then left to fend for themselves. We then went back to the Hands village and met George. George founded Hands@work. He told us something of his story and although we knew he'd told the story many times before you could see him reliving the pain of what he'd seen.
Please watch some of his story here
