The new school year started just last week. And we were able to get our kids new uniforms & school supplies. They were so excited to receive their new clothes and have the supplies that the other children have at school. The grins were big and it really did make me happy to see them all provided for. A HUGE THANK YOU for those contributing to the uniforms. You are helping ones who are very fragile have a chance to thrive. Almost all of these children are orphans, taking care of their younger brothers and sisters. Their parents have died or are dying of AIDS.
In south africa, you can not attend school if you do not have a school uniform. This obviously adds to the cycle of poverty- no uniform, no school, no education, no job, no success...
But this year, the kids are going to school!!
The school supplies were such a treat to the families. We have helped them start their school year with what they need.
We thank you so much and the families thank you for helping them so very much.
