Urgent funding request

Once in a while!

Every once in a while you meet a person worth investing in with out limits.

After interviewing for a PA position Project O has found such a person. Her name is Liz and her story is remarkable. She fled WAR TORN RWANDA as a child with 'bullets flying over my head' she says.

A decade later after spending years in KENYA and Johannesburg working as a PA for a large company she found her way down to Kwa zulu natal.

It's amazing what a decade can do!

She is a unique find and definitely worth the investing in. We require the immediate funding necessary to keep her on full time staff. Experienced in marketing and fund raising she would be a huge asset to the work here and in reality within a month or two would fully cover her own salary and contribute significantly to our operations. Not to mention she will free the director up considerably to do what only he can do at this stage.

Please consider fully funding Liz's salary to keep her on board and in the process - continually developing the work of Project O!

On with the roof........

We have started to put the roof on the children's home. We are thatching our roof  and we have the top thatcher in South Africa doing the job for us! We are so excited this job is more complicated than most as we have had to design a metal frame work to hold the wind turbines and solar panels in place. They will sit directly on the pitch of th

e house and are quite heavy. Here are a few photos of the progress. Not long now and the family will be able to move in.

Is there any way that you can help?

So many of our orphans have disabilities. The main one that we come across is Cerebral Palsy. We have 8 orphans with this condition and it really breaks my heart. If these children were in a western country they would be well cared for, they would be in schools that help them to learn and grow mentally, they would be in physio to help their muscles and joints to be more limber. They would have interaction with children who are in the same situation as they are and they would have a chance at having a life.
The children here have NONE of this.They get to lie on a mat on the floor, ignored by everyone. Not touched, not talked to, not loved.
When we go to visit these children I really struggle to fight back the tears. I get down with them and hold their hand. I talk to them in my broken Zulu and I pray for them.
How do they respond? They laugh and smile and try to talk back to me. It really doesn't take much to make them feel special, but sadly the families of these orphans just don't get it and this breaks my heart.
We need people to come and volunteer, to come and spend time with these families and teach them how to make the child's life better. We need physiotherapists to come and teach the Grandmothers and aunts how to touch and manipulate the children's arms and legs.
CAN YOU HELP?????
