Many of you have asked how we are faring at New Hope Centre in light of the world-wide pandemic. COVID-19 is confirmed to have reached Eswatini in March 2020 in a 33-year-old woman, who returned from the United States at the end of February and then travelled to Lesotho before returning home to Eswatini, is currently in isolation.[ Two suspected cases were identified by 11 March 2020, the first a woman returning from Denmark (or possibly Germany and the other a woman who had hosted visitors from Germany. To date there have been 159 confirmed cases with 12 recovered and 2 deaths. We thought you may be interested to know our status.
No New Hope Centre kids or staff have been affected. No one is sick but we quarantined everyone. We extended invitation to all 18-year-olds to choose to return home for the lockdown or to stay where they are. The three from Cape Town returned, one from a Durban one from Johannesburg and four from around Eswatini so we extended our supplies by faith to sustain everyone. We check everyone’s temperatures every day and not one has had a problem. We are declaring daily psalm 91 over each and every life.
Thank you for your continued involvement with love, prayer and support.
