Blessings Keep Coming

I want to share with you how God is providing for the children of Gamodubu Child Care Trust. Last Saturday we had a day of fun and celebration as the generous people from Letshego donated 71,000 pula, which equals about 10,000 American dollars, to the center. The children enjoyed the day as they enjoyed a football tournament and entertainment from the local drama group.


Letshego acknowledged our need to care for the community when the Risk Compliance Director, Mothusi Ndebele, said, “It is clear that Government alone will not have sufficient resources to provide all social amenities that come with challenges posed by HIV/AIDS.” He said,  “It is up to you and me, Letshego and other corporate and organisations who have to rise to the occasion to assist by whatever small measure and to share in order to get closer to achieving the required goals.” Believe me this was not thought of as a "small measure."


Our hopes are to bring the center to the point that it can sustain itself. We are still faithfully believing for a facility, but in the meantime we are looking into the possibilities of brick molding, raising poultry, piggery, and beginning a bakery. The children are also raising vegetables and learning to make jewelry and crafts. Once the facility is built, we can also rent it out to the community for workshops, seminars, entertainment and recreation. The local paper, The Voice, covered the event as well. You can read their article here.


Steps are getting closer, we are gaining stride and this race to have the facility built on our property is being faced with determination and perseverance. Thank you again to Letshego and our many contributors. Thank you for your prayers and financial support.
