Dear friends from around the world,
I write you as we continue to mourn and to celebrate the death of our beloved Madiba, Nelson Mandela to most of you. We sing and we praise him, we thank the powers that be to have known him and had him in our lives and for our country. Now we honor his memory by continuing our work with our community - AIDS orphans, teen mothers, boy fathers, grandparent-headed households, child-headed households, after school, creche [pre-school], and meals meals meals. How glorious is our new kitchen - we cannot describe what a joy it is for our ever more volunteers to come and cook and serve so many, and ever more, hungry. We have samp and beans on and ready all day all night. We have refrigerators and freezers big enough to store fresh food, healthy food for all. We have qualified for larger Food Bank donations. We reuse our new dishes, helping the environment and enjoying their colors, their hardness, the ease with which we use them and wash them. All because of people, mostly unknown to us directly, giving to us and helping us evolve and grow. We feel blessed. And we are adding funds to our reserve for fuel for the stove, the van and the electricity as we work with project managers to get our organization ready for the next phase of growth. We will have a new concrete project by spring in America - here it is hot summer.
