The first of the New Year 2017 and I don’t know about you, but I’ve been thrown out into the deep and am paddling water to keep up.

Lethabo Kid’s Club began again the 4 January after a two week break. The kids seem happy to be back and the youth are there every Wednesday to help with the little ones, keep order with the older ones and just generally see that everything runs smoothly. We have many children wanting help with school clothes, mainly shoes and backpacks for books. We hope to be able to help them soon.

Getting 14 students registered and settled back into tertiary education has been a huge undertaking. To give you an idea, Phillip completed his Matric (high school diploma) in December, his mother passed away two days before Christmas. He is now registered for a course in Child Care in a town about 3 ½ hours from here where he will have a bursury for his studies. To help him get settled we needed to provide not only a bed (which we had) but curtains, blanket, sheet, pillow and pillowcase, electric kettle, broom and iron. He’s happy and getting settled into classes now. Thankfully most of the other students are second year in their studies and already have the necessities provided. We still need 3 computers which can be shared for them to do their assignments.
 

Christmas Fun

Since December when we had 15 here at Grace Place and then another 9 of Sarah’s friends, I have had 6 young men here for 5 days for prayer and fasting.
