This is where all the volunteers ate their breakfast and dinner. The tents in the background are where the food was served via numerous buffet lines. The large tent on the left also had space for sheltered seating. Because it was winter in South Africa and daylight hours were short, the shuttle buses from our hotels arrived here each morning just as it was beginning to get light. The sun rose while we ate breakfast. Likewise, the sun would set while we were eating dinner and the buses took us back to our hotels in the dark.
Breakfast time on Day 1. Look for Jimmy Carter in the left center part of the picture. He is wearing a white sweatshirt and red bandana. Rosalyn is beside him. Food service tents are to the left and right of this picture. Tents in the background are for registration, first aid, press, souvenir store, and other logistical support services.
After breakfast and devotions every morning the volunteers would stream down the road to their assigned houses and get started on the days building activities.
One hundred houses, numbered 901 to 1000, were built here during the week. Here you can see several of them along one of the streets. The only way to get the full impact of what was being accomplished was from an aerial view, which is available on the Habitat for Humanity International, Jimmy Carter Work Project 2002, web site.
At lunch time each day, sack lunches were delivered to each house site by the catering crew. As you can see, lots of workers were ready for lunch when the delivery came.
Here's most of our crew eating lunch in the shade behind our house. Left to right are Sue, Marina, Eric, Arpad, Dave, Ursula, Rob, Norman, Robin, Cecil, Wayne, Tracy, Jan, and Kelly.
Day 3, Wednesday, was Sue's birthday. We arrived early as usual and sat down for breakfast right behind where we knew Jimmy Carter would be sitting. This picture was taken during the devotional period following breakfast. Sue is behind Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter (gray shirts). Linda Fuller (wife of Habitat founder, Millard) appears between Jimmy and Rosalyn. Sitting beside Rosalyn is Jason Carter (grandson of the Carters), who had previously served in the Peace Corps in South Africa. When the Carters and Fullers toured the house sites for group pictures, Jason made a short speech to each group in Zulu.
When the group rose to leave following devotions, Gene wished the Carters good luck on their days activities and told them that it was Sue's birthday. They both shook her hand and congratulated her; then Jimmy kissed her on the cheek and posed with her for this birthday picture.
On Wednesday night, part of the after-dinner entertainment consisted of this marimba and drum band. Marimba bands were a hot item wherever we went in southern Africa. The instruments are home made.
The singing groups in South Africa are outstanding. On Wednesday evening this group performed several songs. The dancer on the left hopped up on the stage from the audience and soon was followed by several others.
On Thursday evening, the same group performed as had on Wednesday, but they wore traditional costumes.
The Thursday evening program concluded with some traditional Zulu dances. Once again the performers were joined on stage by people from the audience.
On Friday afternoon, a small dedication ceremony was held at each of the house sites. South Africans do not need professionals to dance and sing for them. Frequently during the week, groups of workers would burst into spontaneous and harmonious singing and dancing while they were working. Here are some volunteer workers singing and dancing at a nearby dedication ceremony.
At the house 936 dedication ceremony, Sue had a few words of inspiration to pass on to Jenny on behalf of the entire crew. Rob and Tonia waited at the side for their part in the ceremony.
At the end of the dedication ceremony, our House Leader, Rob, presented Jenny with the key to her house. Her youngest son was there for the ceremony. It was rather an emotional moment, especially since the house was finished and everything during the week had gone so well.
All the volunteers who traveled to Durban were lodged at nice hotels along the beach front in Durban. This is the view that we had from our hotel window at the South Beach Holiday Inn. Unfortunately, we did not see this view until Saturday morning when the project was over, because we left the hotel before dawn each morning and didn't return until after dark each night. But on Saturday we saw the view when we got a chance to sleep until after sunrise and we walked on the beach and put our hands in the Indian Ocean. It was a great week and we look forward to participating in other Jimmy Carter Work Projects in the future.

All the volunteers who traveled to Durban were lodged at nice hotels along the beach front in Durban. This is the view that we had from our hotel window at the South Beach Holiday Inn. Unfortunately, we did not see this view until Saturday morning when the project was over, because we left the hotel before dawn each morning and didn't return until after dark each night. But on Saturday we saw the view when we got a chance to sleep until after sunrise and we walked on the beach and put our hands in the Indian Ocean. It was a great week and we look forward to participating in other Jimmy Carter Work Projects in the future.
At the end of the dedication ceremony, our House Leader, Rob, presented Jenny with the key to her house. Her youngest son was there for the ceremony. It was rather an emotional moment, especially since the house was finished and everything during the week had gone so well.
