Tumelo Home is the home for children with multiple disabilities. Priscilla a WesBanker decided to share her Christmas lunch with children at the Home in Rabie Ridge. Dr Moses Tandisa who founded and runs the centre said the “kids ate till they could eat no more and wow the lovely toys! The children can now sleep with their cuddly teddies in their cots” Isn’t this a great idea for your next Christmas lunch?

Breakthrough Centre 2011 Christmas Party

Chad — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 05:24:57 +0000

WesBank Fleet is currently sponsoring the Agape Crèche at the Break Through Skills Development Centre. We had a super Christmas party with the seven NPOs that we support and the potential children of Agape Crèche. The party opened with drum majorities and the boy’s brigade. This was followed by a braai with hot rolls from our bakery. The kids had fun with face painting and jumping castles. They took home beautiful toys, Buckets of Love, containing groceries and Christmas goodies, sponsored by Wesbank Fleet. Thank you to all volunteers that spend their valuable times with about 320 children that ‘need so much but were satisfied with so little’.

Gift for Life School Starter Packs

Chad — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 20:02:13 +0000

Over the past 6 years, we were able to assist about 3500 children with a gift for life school starter packs. Thank you for your continued support to make this possible. Little David in the picture was so thrilled with the new uniforms and schoolbooks last year. He can now wear new clothes and fit in with the rest of the classmates. See the delight in the eyes of Mary.

Only eternity will reveal how many children’s lives you helped change by giving the greatest gift of education. Education and skills development is greatest need in our country. This year we are focusing on the Duduza tornado hit area and some of the kids we help in Gauteng. After our three outreach programmes last year with these people, we will be concentrating to see how much we can help in this are over the first quarter of 2012. We have been working with the Red Cross. I am in contact with the chairperson person of the Duduza teacher’s forum. Our target for Duduza is 700 children. If we get a good response, we will then see how many children we can help in Gauteng.

Once I know how much funding we will receive from the disaster funding, I will arrange a meeting with the chairperson of School principal forum in Duduza to get the details of the children and do the necessary. I spoke to him last week and he was delighted that we that we are considering doing something for this disaster hit region in terms of their school needs. He says that some of the kids were helped with school bags and some stationery immediately after the tornado in October last year by the government. He says there is so much need and would give me any assistance to identify the most needy children affect by the disaster.

Included in the school starter pack are School shirt, pants/skirt, socks, shoe, bag and some basic stationery. The average cost is R650 per pack.

Thank you for helping build a better South Africa.

Each for the 574 children that lost their home in the recent tornado disaster receive a Buck of Charismas groceries, toys, hamper of sweeties and a tasty meal.

Just under 600 kids early wait the names to be verified before they receive their Christmas goodies.

We prepared for 500 but we had 674 children and about 80 caregiver get far more that what they were promised through the grace and provisions but the Christ of Christmas.

Thank to WesBank, Toy run, Woolworths, several individuals and our volunteers. Thanks for your support for making Duduza Christmas such a great success.

Our face painters word so hard and the kids waited patiently to get the face painted.

All wanted a picture with Father Christmas.

Crèche Update

Chad — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 18:38:41 +0000

Below are some udpated pictures of our Crèche, and pictures of the kids who will be attending when it opens and the homes they live in.

All work on site are done by Connie (only paid his laborers’ due to lack of funds). His wife runs the bakery and they and Violet work ( no pay just volunteering so faithfully)). Thank God for these three people. All of them are unemployed and we are trusting God for some provision next year.

It is only the unconditional love of God that will help these children.
