Of course as project leaders we have a responsibility to update our supporters of our current situation in dealing with the global pandemic that is impacting on NPOs worldwide!
Our residential child & youth care centre has of course been continuing as an essential service which has meant a busy time for myself and our staff looking after the children,
Having to adapt to being on 'lockdown' in South Africa, which dare I say has been much stricter than many countries, has been a challenge in that keeping children occupied, stimulated AND educated 24/7 at our facility whilst taking all necessary precautions to prevent any possible risk has needed a lot of commitment and dedication,
Yet we are pleased to report that our kids are still happy and healthy with us utilizing the technology at our disposal to bring in 'live' educational sessions and lessons as well as working hand in hand with the various school our youngsters attend to ensure that the work can carry on,
I actually have to say it has once again made me proud of our kids because in this time of uncertainty their own resilience and cooperation in attending to the work tasks and expectations on a daily basis has been truly inspiring!
We are asking for our supporters to please continue to support us through this period. Our usual school expenses are of course 'home-school expenses' at this stage and we are doing our best to ensure the progress of our youth will not be hindered throughout this time!
Sending our best wishes to all reading this - please follow all the guidance given, we know there is a light at the end of the tunnel! Stay healthy and thank you so much for supporting us!
