Bakery Project!!!

Naledi Projects and the Luxembourg government are sponsoring the Feeding Projects at the 2 schools in Katlehong but they will only do this for the next 3 years and we had to think of a sustainable project for the schools to bring in money to supplement the sponsored money and provide for the future. We were presented with an opportunity of opening a bakery to work out of the kitchens we built at the school. Naledi projects and Luxembourg government also donated money for the bakery.

We had 10 ladies attend training for two weeks and they did a very good job and were really excited to learn about baking. The school will sell their products (bread, donuts and cakes) to the local shops and the community. When the ladies were training, people could smell the delicious smell of the cakes and asked if they could make their orders right away! The ladies completed their training and received their certificates.

10 ladies on their first day!

Sports day

Sad News

This gogo (grandmother) was in her 80’s and she took care of her 2 grandchildren. Lambano helped this family with food parcels. On Tuesday she went to fetch her granddaughter from school and, on the way back, she was hit by a train. Her granddaughter saw the whole accident.

Please pray for the family through this tough period and especially for the granddaughter who is having nightmares and asking a lot of questions. The 2 grandchildren will be going for counseling. Also pray that a loving home is found for these 2 children since their parents are dead.
