Very recently, one of our very vulnerable families, ravaged by AIDS already, experienced a bad fire in their home, which started from the back of a bedroom [cause still unknown]. It was quite serious, but the family got our safely. They got out, but lost everything in the bedroom and some of the house itself. Siyaphambili in Bedford pulled resources together and got them a new bed, sheets and linens and other household items as needed.
This is the kind of outreach that happens regularly in communities such as ours which have so little, but love each other so much. Feeding the hungry, growing our vegetables, going to the foodbank, handing out whatever food we get and we cook staves off true starvation. Sanitary supplies for girls allows them to attend school. Programs to educate help the ignorant understand how AIDS spreads and how to prevent it - there is still so much bad information out and so much work to do.
We cannot thank our donors enough for helping us be flexible in meeting the needs as they arise, and sustaining the programs we have. Without you, we would truly be unable to make a difference. It is what gives our lives meaning.
