Through the years we have opened our doors and welcomed guests at Endlovini. Some arrive by bus and after a tour of the premises are treated to a lunch before they move on to Hluhluwe, one of the many game parks in KZN. Others come for a day or two or more, and are accommodated in one of the rondavels. There is always great excitement when visitors come. The children - and teachers - love to perform, the ladies proudly show their crafts, hoping for a good sale. Some guests stop by the hospice with a word of consolance and comfort as they admire the beauty of our area. The pastor graciously receives and shares history and culture of the area before sending them on their way with a prayer of thanks and God speed. My family members have of course been the most frequent visitors. and are always put to work, be it getting sewage tanks in place, assisting with repairs, or sharing ideas with the ladies, or just absorbing the peace and tranquility! .... and some of our visitors are our little ones who are now school children. Some come back as OVCs and enjoy the meals we prepare for them. When this little group of ex-crechers came to say hello, I showed them a photo of Nelson Mandela (the ladies used his image on some of our shopping bags), wondering whether they would recognize him. They certainly did and immediately started signing one of the praise songs, popular at that time.
