Holidays for Alan and Jennifer

Since the school demands so much attention, performance and behavior from them it is a basic emotional need to just let go and let them have a healthy time of fun regularly. That need was supplied thanks to the generosity of our friend Barend that gave a special donation for them to have holidays in Durban with their good friends Marilé and Arné that used to be their colleagues in Barberton School.  

 Nothing deep, just fellowship and fun!

 

A lot to be thankful for

The Blessing of Paying it Forward

Every week we make 2 trips to Nelspruit (Saturday and Sunday) to pick up quality food on the expiring date from Woolworths. Then we come home and process it, separate the meat, the veggies and the dry food and store it in different places: the meat goes to the freezer specially got for this purpose, the veggies are stored in a dry and fresh place and the dry products are put in crates.

On Monday morning two workers from CMR (social assistance) come home to collect the products that are distributed next day to needy families represented by one member of each family.

Here in these pictures you see the moment the CMR workers (Julia and Portia) come to collect the goods and next day when they are distributed. We do this for the last 4 years and so far it has been a blessing to many that say they depend almost entirely on these donations.

We are not including here all the families to not bother you with so many pictures. There are 15 families receiving regularly these goods, plus ocasionally the children from the creche and spontaneous families in need.
