House No 5 after
House No 5 beforeHi there!
It is 2012 already and we are off to a busy start! The price of mealie meal per 12.5kg bag has soared which is sad as it makes life difficult for us - stretching available funds.
The South African Catholic Bishop's Conference has awarded us funding to build 20 little 2 room houses plus a water tank for deserving orphan-headed homes. We have built 5 already and will start on the next five very soon. See photos above. Craft classes on a Wednesday are going well. A lot of the older children who were getting on well and producing lovely aprons etc are too busy with school to attend, so we are starting from the bottom again with younger ones who have never seen a sewing machine - patience!!
