MKI, the Sandton Hotels and the making of a documentary, day 7











For days they have been preparing because Desmond Tutu is coming to town.
Mama Rosie the head of Baphumelele has been nerves for days, for the first time in her life she would be sacking the hands of the man she adored and who she only had seen on television and in newspapers.

The children were lining up, while the powerful choir that sang in the Mandela musical was rehearsing.
In the middle of al of this I got a call from Mthunzi the dryer but also the son in law of Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu that they had left the highway. We had 5 minutes to go.

More and more people had gathered and there he was.
After being introduced to the many that have been waiting we entered the MKI Health Information Centre for the graduation of two classes.
The former Archbishop enjoyed his visit and he insisted that all students who received their certificate would come to the front to meet with him.

After the official ceremony we all sang and enjoyed his company.
He thanks everyone and shared is unending support and love for the work of MKI. “God smiles when it looks at MKI”.

In the meantime outside the centre many children had gathered to sing and dance for their Archbishop and he joined them.
An unforgettable visit.

The next day I received the following email:
Dear Friend,
Thank you for your kind note. I was deeply touched by all I saw and must say I am impressed by all that you do.
God bless you and yours,
arch
