To all our wonderful supporters,
I am writing to you today for two important reasons.
Firstly, each year at this time we have an end of year financial appeal. The response to this is always encouraging and I hope that you will again consider supporting the vital work we are doing in Africa for orphaned and vulnerable children and youth. All donations are tax deductible.
Second, a couple of weeks ago you would have received an email invitation to join us at 10.30 am this coming Sunday (30th June) at the Events Cinemas at Macarthur Square for a special advanced screening of “Danger Close-The Battle of Long Tan.”
This movie is produced by my two sons, John and Michael, who will be present, as well as some actors from the film, who will introduce the movie and answer questions after the showing. We still have seats available and tickets can be purchased ($30) at www.trybooking.com/508778 (or call 0246580580) The film is receiving excellent reviews and I would be delighted if you could join us.
We are amazed at how effective our current staff in Africa have become.
Our efforts to transform the lives of young people born into desperate circumstances are bearing wonderful fruit.
Joseph Dladla and Vusi Maphalala are two mature Zulu family men who provide wonderful role models and inspirational teaching to lead a team who have proved that they can transform damaged and demoralised young people into enthusiastic, optimistic, productive adults.
One of the successful and effective programs is the Youth Health GardenProject. This program encompasses three projects:
Nutrition & Gardening Workshops which teach household gardens organic farming, so children and their caregivers can have food security. They are also taught cooking and preparation of nutritious food using their garden grown vegetables.
Garden Establishment where households are assisted with seedlings and fencing material for their gardens to be secured.
