May is Women's Month in S. Africa. We had a wonderful Mother's Day Celebration for AIDS- infected mothers and men, including the grandmothers of orphans and vulnerable children with whom we are working. It was on Tuesday morning, thus the kids were at school.
We had nurses from the Department of Health come to speak and interact as we work to network with them and the schools around our community.
So our soup kitchen is operating, though we still need a fence around it, and we are at the same time addressing the pressing needs of the community around it and AIDS is still the scourge that kills so many of our young, our mother's and our men. Much work remains to be done, and no USAID or federal money is available at this time. We are doing our best to network and educate from all we have learned over the past 11 years with almost no money - the way we accomplish so much of what we do.
The need is very great. The numbers of children affected, including food insecurity, continues to rise, so our work feels ever more urgent. We can stretch a dollar to do the work of ten or even 20 dollars, and we are organized with volunteers to do what we can.
We are grateful to all our donors and wish them well.
