Simba!!!!

Our children were blessed on Saturday last week, we had 2 companies that took time out of their busy schedules to come and spent time with the children:

Stanlib: Had a birthday party for the children and hired a jumping castle and had face panting for the children, but the highlight for the children was Simba the lion.


Children enjoying their food!

McCarthy Renault in Germiston brought Sunday lunch for the children!

Shelley is a fun-spirited, bubbly young lady who cleary has a genuine love for children, as well as South Africa. She already has spent much time with the children here at Lambano playing games, singing, dancing and whatever the kids find her to do! Shelley is currently studying sociology and poverty back home and has chosen to do her internship here at Lambano. We are blessed to have this young lady with us and thank God for how she has just fitted in thus far and has brought along so much joy with her. We look forward to the rest of our time with her.
