For the many (predominantly white and coloured) families of Klein Akker, Christmas might not have come at all if not for this special event! In their Kraaifontein farm informal settlement, they live an extremely hard life, with barely even their basic needs met. Because of this, they can tend to feel disheartened, forgotten, or even worthless. In addition to helping them with foodstuffs throughout the year, for Christmas we wanted to remind them that God does care, and loves them greatly. Thus, this event, in which each person received a parcel of foodstuffs – carrots, oranges, bread, fruit bars, potatoes, and gemsquash! In addition to the fresh food, for the adults there were pens as a special extra, and the children each got a lovely donated goodie bag, as well as a full bag of popcorn! What sweet and precious people, and how glad we are to bring Christmas Love to them in this way.
