Happy Birthday Linto & Eustis!
Our youngest, Linto celebrated his 5th birthday in June! As they came from school, we ate a nice lunch, played games, & had a delicious cake & pudding. Linto received a bunch of his favorite toy–cars! He was so excited to be able to celebrate his special day during the visit of two of our friends from Germany. Happy Birthday Linto! Eustis turned the big 1-0 in July during the visit of a team from South Africa to Kwathu. He loved celebrating it with our friends from Global Challenge, who made him an awesome lunch & cakes!
Happy Birthday Eustis!
Thank You Global Challenge!
At the beginning of July, Kwathu was very blessed by a visit from Global Challenge, a ministry based in Jeffrey’s Bay, South Africa. GC is a discipleship/leadership program oriented around travel adventures. During their journey through Botswana, Zimbabwe & Zambia, they committed a week to serving at Kwathu. In addition to completing work projects during the day, they had unending energy to play with the children & help them with their homework as they came from school. Throughout the week, the team looked for needs they could meet at Kwathu. It was during this time that they decided to fulfill a great need for us by purchasing a new fridge for the children’s home. Global Challenge, thank you for blessing Kwathu in so many ways!
