Photos - Masiphumelele fire

In May 2011 a fire swept through the township of Masiphumelele (the community about 200 yards from our home).

Over 1500 shacks were completely destroyed leaving 5000 people with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Three people lost their lives. We have had numerous friends lose everything including kids that Karl coaches, Sisterhood of Success women, Jensen’s teacher aid, and others we have met while here. Read the journal updates...
