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.

Can you Volunteer????

As a volunteer you will help with the building work taking food to orphans and help with teaching our life-skills with the children. We are looking for people with and without experience, all ages, all backgrounds!!

Can you come and give some time to help us to give these children a home.

Wheelbarrow to the clinic.

This month saw the launch of our much anticipated mobile clinic.

A couple of weeks ago I was out delivering food to some orphans. As I was driving in the landy up a very steep hill, I came across a 70 year old grandmother who was helping her daughter home from the clinic. The daughter is dying from AIDS and can no longer walk. The grandmother had helped her into a wheelbarrow and wheeled her the whole way there, waited for a few hours to be seen by the doctor and was now wheeling her back up the hill.

When I asked her how long it had taken her to get her to the clinic she told me that 5 hours was the time it took her to get to the point that she was at now and that she still had a long way to go.

I put them both in the landrover and drove them home, it just took me a few minutes , it would have taken her a couple of hours!

This is one of the reasons that we need a new Landrover!!!!

It is also one of the reasons that we have started up our mobile clinic.

We have alot of basic medical supplies i.e. bandages, antiseptic cream, vitamins ect. It is all loaded up into the back of a quad and one of our staff members takes a trained nurse or doctor to the people who can not get to the clinic. We have a nurse from the UK staying with us at the moment and we are looking for more people to volunteer their time and skills to help these people in need.

We need people who can teach the women how to care for their babies and people who can minister first aid. Nurses, midwives, doctors we need to to come and visit!

Let us know If you are interested.
