Thank you!!!

The Lord is good! Last week we sent out an appeal for funds to all our sponsors many people responded. We would like to say thank you for your help and love for our children.

Dental Programme:

Smile of Joy is an NGO that gives each HIV infected and/or affected orphaned child in South Africa the foundation for total oral health.

For the past few weeks we have had a dentist coming to work on some of the hospice children’s teeth that had been identified as needing treatment. Some of the children had to have some teeth extracted, but most of the children were really good. Only one 14 year old refused to open his mouth – he’d seen the tray of instruments and he wasn’t budging!

Raising funds for the church:
McDonalds Mcpastor night - This event is to raise money so that the AWANA children can attend a special Holiday Bible Club based on a soccer theme during the June/July holidays. Most of the Lambano children go to AWANA and they love it.

On the night we took 35 of our children to the Mcpastor night to support the church and give them an outing. We had decided that we could afford an ice-cream cone for each child. However, on arriving there, one of the men took the matter out of our hands and insisted on paying for the ice-creams. Each child received an ice cream cup with strawberry, caramel or chocolate poured over it – what a treat!
We would like to thank the people who helped with the children and those who paid for the ice cream. The children had lots of fun.
