For this report we have first the story of the boy with red Tekkies, whose three siblings are staying with us. He disappeared for 3 years and was brought to us in November 2018 by the police after they traced his siblings.
We were told that he was staying in the streets with other street kids smoking dagga; he is about 8 years old. We had to start from scratch try to change his behavior. Before we started Summer Holidays, Alake one of our practitioners, took him to one of the primary school for enrolment and he was accepted; in December we took him to Cape Town with other children for holidays and he was so happy. You can see it from the attached photos with his siblings.
A second very good story regards our Simamkele, a girl we have cared for for years. She has just been accepted in Gymnisium high school in Adelaide, 20km from Bedford. She travels by public transport that we pay R 650. every month-end and pay R500. for school fees every month. Remember that we have started her from grade R now she is in high school - very brilliant. We are so proud of her.
With the donations from our friends through GlobalGiving, we are making a great impact on the lives of the vulnerable, the little ones with nothing. From the basics of food and shelter and schooling, we work with each one to see that a future of contributing to society and having a productive and successful life.
