As soon as “Mama” Rosie – the founder and director of Baphumelele Orphanage in Khayelitsha – heard that we had stationery packs for not SOME, but ALL of the school-aged children she cares for, she began cheering and rejoicing and praising God on the phone! “Just yesterday” she shared, “the school was calling me saying how my children coming from the orphanage don’t have all the notebooks and things they need. And I was thinking oh Lord what must I do? And then YOU CALL!”

How wonderful! 121 dear ones from grade R up received their packs, and we were able to remind them how very Loved by Jesus they are. We were also privileged to have a long-term friend of ours join us at the event, and her loving grandmotherly care impacted out onto all the children in such a special way.
