94.7 challenge

We sent out an appeal to all our donors to sponsor a cyclist for the Momentum 94.7 Cycle Challenge. We had 11 cyclists participating in this challenge and the outcome was amazing, the cyclists were able to raise R118 000, 00. Thank you to all who supported us for this challenge and to the cyclists that rode so well.

Christmas parties:

It’s been extremely busy for the past 2 weeks with Christmas parties and dancing rehearsals.

Twelve of our children have been practicing to perform at our Civic Theatre on the 09th & 10th December. This is a big production and our children will be doing two dances in the show - we know that they will do well.


Staff Christmas party:

Our staff had a lovely Christmas lunch. Thank you to Sarah Wittwer’s friends (Sarah is one of our volunteer from Switzerland) for donating money for this lunch. We were also able to give them Christmas hampers which they greatly appreciated.





I think this is the saddest part:

Goodbye:

Mama Barbara came to Lambano 6 years ago and what a blessing she has been to us. When she came to stay at McAlpine the children were around 4 years old and now they are 10! On Friday last week we had a farewell party for her and everyone was in tears. The children and the staff sang a wonderful song for her thanking her for everything she has done for them. Mama Barbara there are truly no words to express how grateful we are that you came to Lambano. You will be greatly missed!
