"One of our riders didn’t make it this week. Today would have been Abraham's 13th birthday, 06.06.12!

He rode our Botho Corps school bus with his brother Lincoln. Yesterday, we laid him to rest. His illness was brief, the grief is not.

When the time came to say goodbye, we sent the bus, the one many of you helped fund, to take people to his funeral. The bus has always been more than a vehicle. It's been a vessel of hope, of access, of dignity, along with the many projects we do at Botho Corps. It's a heartbreaking full circle.
To everyone who’s ever donated to the bus project & the work we do at Botho Corps: this is the impact.
Thank you for putting wheels on that road. You helped give Abraham and 64 other children the gift of access, of education and of opportunity.

You helped get him to school. And, in the end, you helped get him home. 🕊️ "

A tribute from our Trustee Fifi Mathambo.

This is the time to pay close attention to our children. It's s vulnerable time for them. They are absorbing everything around them. Ensure it is the right things.
Sometimes children show regressive behaviors, clinging, thumb sucking or even bedwetting. Do not be punitive, they need reassurance that the world around them is safe. Give our Ratis some love. Ask them what they think about what is happening...

As Gaborone and surrounding areas are going through destructive floods, let's keep the kids safe - away from flood waters at home and away from images that may traumatise them online.
