Bulembu is a town in Swaziland, Africa with heart and a vision.
In 2001, the mining company that had built and operated Bulembu for more than 60 years, closed its doors and walked away. With no jobs the town was soon abandoned, even as Swaziland continues to be ravaged by the HIV/AIDS pandemic and the resulting orphan crisis.
Today, Bulembu has a clear vision to become a vibrant, self-sustaining community. This vision for sustainability includes fostering the development of a new generation of emerging leaders through orphan care, education, health services and commerce.

The team has definitely attracted some favorable attention as they taught many skills. They are getting very excited for an official match they will be playing tomorrow afternoon against the High School boys. Who's going to win???
