Dear friends of Siyaphambili -
The past few months have been very busy for us both in Langa and in Bedford. We had First Aid Training, and now have first-rate equipment on site for the first time. The Lunchbox Fund, from East London, England, considered and then accepted us into their program which resulted in their sending us many boxes of food staples, which we transferred to blue barretls to keep out rodents and moisture. With their generous ongoing gift we are able to go to a 3 day a week feeding scheme for even more hungry children and we are cooking up a storm. Liberty Health Company chose us for their Santa Shoebox Initiative, which will result in good clothing and other necessities for our orphans. And the organization Befsa visited us and I met again with them - Kieth and Catherine Borien - who showed much interest in our efforts.
With our gardens growing both literally and figuratively, we are ever grateful. Without the GlobalGiving platform and efforts by long-term, recurring donors, we could not do all we do. And there is still much to stabilize and to provide.
World AIDS Day is again December 1, and this year Enel Green Power is partnering with us to enable us to both educate and celebrate progress made as well as to mourn those lost in the last 12 months.
We appreciate all efforts on our behalf.
