News from S Africa

Yesterday 7th June I received an email from Nancy's daughter Khanya in South Africa. Apparantly Nancy and Khanya have been quite poorly with a bad flu. It was thought that Khanya may have contracted TB (Which is rife there) but luckily the tests came back clear. Nancy who is diabetic and has trouble walking due to severe nerve end damage has now got huge very painful blisters on her feet and is finding walking very painful. She is also waiting for the results of the latest investigation as to why this is happening and what can be done to relieve her pain.

Please remember Nancy in your thoughts and prayers and all the children in South Africa, many who are battling AIDS, TB and related illnesses.

Khanya is still waiting to receive the visa for her planned visit to the UK in September. This is taking a long time to be processed. I have heard that it can be quite difficult for Africa citizens to receive the visa for entry into the UK so we are both praying that all goes well and that she can indeed fly to England on September 16th for a fortnights holiday as planned.

Money sent out to South Africa.

I have just spoken to Nancy by phone and I am sending another £2000 out to her this morning. £1000 is to pay half of Rebecca's salary (Nancy's helper) and the other £1000 is towards shack repairs and blankets etc as it is now wintertime in South Africa and very cold in the evenings where the children stay. They need all the help we can give them. Please help if you are able. Thank you.

News from S Africa

I received an email from Nancy at the Thandukuphila Centre yesterday morning 20th May. Nancy has listed what the last money we sent out was used for.

Tracksuits for winter for the children
Disposable nappies
Baby formula and cereals
Installation of electricity to five more shacks
Ongoing renovation of shacks and repair to the damage done by the latest hail storm.
Blankets for 19 families.
Food for £500 needed or the crèche children and the ones who come before and after school to eat.

Money is also needed to pay the salary of Rebecca who works closely with Nancy and now is only employed part time due to lack of funding in S. Africa.

We urgently need funding for S Africa if you can fund raise or help at all by donation please contact me ( "see Contact us" on right side of web page). Thank you.
