Social
Birthdays are a good time to reflect on God’s love. We are each special to the Lord, unique and precious in His eyes. Salvation in Christ is available to every human being so that we may enjoy happiness and life with him forever. The month of June had three (3) lovely birthdays.

A big thank you to Kaila and Carsyn (from left to right) for coming to visit Kwathu. Your passion to serve at this ministry is so encouraging. Enjoy your stay!!!!
Farewell
Manda: Manda bid us farewell as her visit came to an end. We really appreciate the time she set aside to be with us. May God bless you.
Kim and Faustine: It is always sad to say goodbye. Kim and Faustine served at Kwathu Children’s Home for six weeks, yet it felt so short. The ladies held a farewell dinner packed with laughter, songs and good wishes. Thank you for volunteering at Kwathu and we pray that the good Lord continues touching your souls that you may continue to be a blessing to others.
Community Development:
Kwathu Free Haven Community School:
The school had a team of visitors from an organisation called Pop Green who came to educate the children on the need to conserve and save plants. The team and the children planted different trees and each team of pupils were assigned with a plant to take care of until it is fully grown. The pupils were very excited and enjoyed the activity.
TBRI Training
Members of staff from Kwathu Children’s Home and Kwathu Free Haven Community School had a ‘Trust Based Relational Intervention’ (TBRI) training with one of our volunteers, Manda, facilitating the whole training. The training highlighted a few issues related to child care. For example: how to deal with trauma, how to build trust with children, deep breathing activities etc… It was a very educative training and it pointed out best ways to take care of children. Thank You Manda for the training!
Feeding Program:
Thank God for the continuous provision of meals for the feeding program.
Land Update:
The volunteer/staff house is almost ready for occupation. This house will be able to accommodate our volunteers who come from all over the world to visit our ministry and staff. We thank God for seeing us through to the completion of the house. Thank you to all those who contributed towards the construction of this lovely home. May God continue blessing you.

New Project:
The construction of the new shelter to be used for the feeding program is underway. The foundation has been dug up and we will soon start making the concrete slab.
Tim’s initiative of re-using water for garden care has been such a success. We will be able to reuse the water that was used for washing dishes, bathing etc. Thank you for the initiative Tim!!!
