MAL REFLECTION: CHANGING SOMEONE’S LIFE EVERY DAY, EVERY MOMENT CANNOT BE DONE WITHOUT FINANCIAL SUPPORT…
I hardly speak of what I do, but today was special and from the Divine.
Every Tuesday I sit down at Vida E Roeland Street before I start work at 7am, and not always, do I get the privilege to bless or counsel a homeless person.
Today was special, I met Fazli, muslim guy, who lost all to his addiction, his life, his job, his marriage and now living on the streets in city centre Cape Town which can be so horrific and dangerous at the best of times. The worst is he is living with his daughter of 8 years old, who should already have been in grade 2 schooling by now. He shared his brief life story over a coffee and sandwich which I treated him to. He spoke of his mother also an addict, and a father he never knew until 21 years old, and how he ended up on the streets and not able to turn his life around without anyone willing to support him.
I am grateful for the many who support me and the work that I do, and also for my own profession, to allow me to assist this broken person and family today. Just wish I could do more 🙏🙌

MAL: REFLECTION ON AFRICA TRAVELS AND LIFE…
I’ve just landed in beautiful South Africa 🇿🇦, a country and economy being destroyed by a corrupt society and a failing respect for human dignity and human life.
In April 2023, I had the privilege of traveling again to Fada N’Gourma, Burkina Faso 🇧🇫 , where we are building a primary school in a very remote poor rural village in the dessert. My challenge began with my visa application delays, as someone most likely was wishing to be paid a token. From Cape Town to Ethiopia and onward to Niger where we stopped. No one got on for the onward journey to Burkina Faso. Very surprisingly odd, but I would only later understand why. Eventually on arrival I was interrogated in a room because I was invited by the Catholic Church, but eventually allowed to pass through. I then entered Ouagadougou, and very quickly realized the situation. No expats or international NGO’s around as all have been asked to leave the country by the government as he could no longer guarantee their safety. Here I was arriving to a very hostile situation but a country and project in so much need. 6,500 odd schools was forced to close as they were not teaching Islam at school. So many children displaced and now used as child labour. Our mission here was to build a school and that we are continuing. An infringement on a simple human right to education. Unrest was breaking out and we were forced to travel back to Ouagadougou at high road speeds, with the presidential special forces arriving to control the situation.
This past week in June 2023, I travelled again to Muvamba, Mozambique 🇲🇿. What a privilege again since last in 2019 just before Covid-19. 105 water points drilled and constructed over 14 years. It was good to be back in this very remote and avid poverty situation. The elation of people as we travelled around to most water points. But again so many water points that have either broken down or not working, government not even stepping in to assist after all our investment. A situation that we need to change. Water is life! I also met a beautiful 16 year old girl with the most angelic smile, but suffering from Elephantiasis, a condition brought about by a malaria worm carried and transmitted to the mother before birth. Yet this girl with her enlarged Elephant-like feet was doing liturgical dancing at her church with 5 other girls for all to see. I have vowed that I will find a way to assist her and make her life better.
This is the reality of most places we go to. The risk. The lack of water, electricity, sanitation and hygiene. A society of communities denied basic human needs and rights.
I now travel to my comfortable home by the sea, in a vehicle and will probably enjoy some good food and wine today or maybe a beer!
BUT I cannot forget my purpose out here in Africa and I must return soon and find ways and gathering more additional financial and human support! I am privileged to live a good and purposeful life…
Bless those that support our work, and bless the many whose lives we continue to positively change and improve!!! 🙏

REDS: OFF TO MUVAMBA WATER-FOR-ALL PROJECT, MOZAMBIQUE 🇲🇿
Traveling today with the external evaluator to do a full monitoring visit and assessment of our project here which has spanned almost a decade now, with such good work and development impact. With about 100 water points/bore holes later scattered across very rural Muvamba mission area, it has been such a profound project, changing so many vulnerable families lives and communities forever. 🙏
