We have made progress on several interesting and diverse fronts this past 3 months. We had a visit from an American jewelry maker who was touring S. Africa and wanted to visit a project like ours. Her name is Amanda Rose and she was so impressed with our work that she decided to donate a percentage of all her sales of a line of her jewelry to our work, and we are very grateful.
Donations from several generous people allowed us to have a nice Christmas for all our children and child-headed households.
We have also started a new reading program to put more literacy in all our programs. Volunteers come and read to our afterschool programs in both Langa and Bedford, and we are educating our young with both fiction and non-fiction books on topics from health to animals and legends.
Our soup kitchens serve ever more both breakfast and supper, lots of samp and beans; our garden is producing well; our shopping at the foodbank brings us lots for our money.
We do need a new van and a fence and pray that funds for these important items will come this year.
We are very grateful to all who are helping us with both one-time and recurring donations.
