Dear Friends and parteners
Thank
you so much for all your support and for upholding us in your
prayers. This month the Lord enabled us to assist 4 Day-cares with
new clothes and shoes for the children. There was also Dis-Chem
supplies for all, a large box Weet-Bix, and our dear friend, Junho,
who himself is a student here, and who has now worked closely with us
for several months, supplied a month’s worth of breakfast cereals
and milk for 2 of the Day-cares prior to us receiving the Weet-Bix.

assist again. If you would like to help, please see the following

10
boxes of quarter leg chicken
30
kg mince
20
kg rice or 30 kg pasta
Red
and green veggies
100
ltr. Juice
Desert,
etc.
FOOD HAMPERS
This year there are about 10 fulltime volunteers at the soup kitchen. These women work long hours for little or no pay. For Christmas we would like to be able to offer them a nice food hamper for them and their families. Almost anything would be welcome for this purpose. Some suggestions are:
I whole chicken per family
2-3 kg of either: rice, pasta or potatoes
Canned goods
Sugar
Millie meal
Cooking oil
Margarine
Fruits and veggies
Tea and coffee
Etc, etc.
Besides the volunteers there are approx. 15-20 sick and elderly that we would like to offer a hamper to as well, consisting of some of the same items as listed above.
