Avuxeni! Minjani? Umfekile Minjane!

Over the years I have had the privilege of watching many of our kids grow up, become professionals, establish their lives in ways they never thought possible. I have watched for example Ronny go from a 13yr old village boy who was gambling, stealing from home, and most likely to be dead or in jail by the time he turned 18yrs of age, become a young man who is a Telecoms Network Engineer problem solving 100’s of feet above ground. Not only that, but he married one of our original 13 girls who herself is a registered Occupational Therapist. They are also proud parents of a beautiful little girl.

Ronny wrote me a letter saying that all had to look forward to, turning 18yrs of age, was dying of AID’s or being in jail, he knew what his future held, but then he was given a chance, through your support! Ronny is an active member of his community, contributing to the tax base as is his wife and they both share leadership roles within their professions. Ronny attributes his time with us for developing these skills and ensuring his team succeeds. The values we inculcated within have stayed with Ronny through out the ups and downs of life, he is such a wonderful example of what is really possible through KTD196.

Your support turned his life around. You enabled us to reach Ronny, and many many others in need of direction, hope and support. Ronny is just one of 31,000 children we have been able to assist to create a new story, and new future, a new destiny over the past 22years.

Your support brings life, hope and love. We are ready to do more, we are just waiting for your ongoing support!

Thank you for all your support so far!

Blessings

Louise
