Siyahamba! We are marching…and so happy to have the power back after 5-days of generators, hard-work and cold tea! Good morning from the Siyathemba creche in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa ☀️

If you feel called to donate and sponsor a space for a child who would otherwise not be able to attend, please visit us at: http://www.emmanuelswish.org/donate-1

We appreciate every donation, every share, and every message of support! Siyabonga 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Hi all!!

Great news - I have found a few friends who will be travelling to South Africa in April (Toronto) and August (Ottawa) and are willing to bring donations for our creche and Teen Drop-in Centre!

I am reaching out today to ask if any of you have items to donate (listed in my last post), or anything else you have that might be enjoyed by our amazing kiddos and teens! The teens just want to play and have fun - we are hoping for some soccer balls, rugby balls, cricket sets, or American footballs.

We would also SO appreciate any cash donations, and we'd be happy to pick up what we need. If ten people donate $20, we'd be set for the year! Please share this post with your contacts, if that feels right for you.

We have also started our planning meetings (pics below) for our chicken coop and veggie garden. The kids decided to start with cabbage, spinach, potatoes and carrots. They are super excited to bring this food home to their families! Any gardening supplies would also be so appreciated
