Part of Soweto

This is part of the township of Soweto. It has 2 million people living in shacks. I couldn't get alot of pictures because I was driving. This area reminded me most of Ecuador. Johannesburg is dangerous and poor, but there are not lots of shacks there. We drove around with Maki, who lives in Soweto, but works at Door of Hope. She explained so much about the people here. Once again, the only white girl. :-) We then proceded to go to a place called Orlando children's home which holds 65 kids. We were bringing donations for them. It reminded me of prison. Although I have never been to prison, it looked very institutional- no place for the kids to play, all white walls, and lots of metal cribs.
