Youth Day -Blankets, Food, and Hot Soup
Youth Day! We spent the days leading up to it cutting and sewing blankets to help in the areas affected by the recent stormy weather. We also cooked a huge pot of chicken soup for the homeless and distributed food, along with blankets, to hungry residents of a mixed-race informal settlement. Our youth really pitched in to help be a force for good on this special day. We’re so very thankful for YOUR help and support!
Relief for Knysna Fire Victims
A big thank you to all those of you who have helped with the disaster relief so far! We were very warmly received by the firefighters at the drop-off point for Knysna relief. Among our delivery were blankets, toiletries, and a variety of foodstuffs! We are truly privileged to have been able to join these relief efforts for thousands of displaced Knysna residents. We will continue to assist with disaster relief locally as well, and appreciate any and all help.
