“You are who you are for a reason.You’re part of an intricate plan.You’re a precious and perfect unique design,Called God’s special woman or man.You look like you look for a reason.Our God made no mistake.He knit you together within the womb,You’re just what he wanted to make.The parents you had were the ones he chose,And no matter how you may feel,They were custom designed with God’s plan in mind,And they bear the Master’s seal.No, that trauma you faced was not easy.And God wept that it hurt you so;But it was allowed to shape your heart So that into his likeness you’d grow.You are who you are for a reason,You’ve been formed by the Master’s rod.You are who you are, beloved,Because there is a God!”

Love to all

Oh my goodness where does the time go............ well it has been a truly busy week, the children have begun preparation for their vegetable patches. Last weekend they cleaned out the 'nursery' and planted trays of broccoli, cauliflower, carrot, cabbage, carrot, green beans....... all are sprouting already....... Well done my angels XXXXXXXXX (sorry still can't work out how to upload photos from phone)

For these children it has been amazing, they are accomplishing so much since we arrived here and watching their faces as they see their efforts sprouting, oooh it is joy.......... great joy at the simplest of things......... a child's smile of pride....... the light of anticipation in a child's eye..........

We are still focusing on getting the children back to school and they really do need your help.  Although tuition is free from primary through secondary school, nothing else is, they must have uniform, shoes, pe kits books and stationery along with insurance, registration, lab fees, IT fees, lunches, fares and the list goes on.  The maintenance of the children in school is an ongoing struggle, so when it comes to 'back to school' time, preparing for the new achool year cannot happen without the help of others.......

Please do open our full list of needs and help where you can, sponsor a pair of shoes, a set of books, a school uniform, every little helps........ or you can now also opt to make small donations on a regular monthly basis................ help a child to overcome their negative experiences and through the opportunity of full participation in their school activities and curricula, succeed in breaking the cycle of poverty, viokence and abuse that has haunted their past............. help us to supply them with the tools and knowledge to make the most of educational opportunities available to them.............
