Further news from Africa

When Khanya emailed today, August 6th, about her mum Nancy, she also told me about the young boy in Africa, fighting for his life due to a tree crashing down on the shack he lives in, killing his young brother and leaving him fighting for his life with terrible head injuries. He has had an operation on his head and so far appears to be doing well.

Please also keep this young boy in your thoughts and prayers.

We so badly need funding in order to strengthen all the shacks in order to prevent more of these terrible accidents which happen all too frequently.

Heavy rains and winds destroy so many of these fragile homes. Fires are caused due to candles being knocked over due to the lack of electricity or by fires being brought inside when the weather is too bad outside to cook food. It is going to take a long time, and much money to sort out many of these ongoing problems.
