You have been amazing, wonderfully generous!

Thank you for helping us sort out our fog harvester, which had fallen on hard times. The new one is working like a bomb! The water is pouring off it and being captured in our 10,000 litre tanks. It really is a wonderful extraordinarily different way of capturing such an scarce and precious resource like water.

I’m hoping to get a picture of the fog harvester when we have our next rainy and misty day. That only happens when the wonderful North-Westerlys blow in from the South Atlantic. I will rush up the mountain and take a photo so that you can see how well it works… watch this space…

It works! The food voucher idea has made life very much easier for all of us at the POP Centre kitchens.

Lots of questions around whose name is on their voucher card, and I had great pleasure in telling them all about you and your generosity to them.

Its really a great idea, and makes for a very orderly system of feeding hundreds of hungry children every day.

The Winter months have already started, and work is scarce. The next 90 days are the crucial ones in terms of income in the families of these seasonal farm workers. And these food vouchers will be making all the difference between a well nourished Winter, or hungry tummys every morning.

Thank you SO much, these children will never know how lucky they are to have friends like you.

Wow, your response was wonderful. The families that got these magnificent “food parcels” were thrilled and delighted. And, as usual, a little confused as to where this generous windfall had come from. I explained to them that there are people overseas who are concerned about them and worried that they would not have sufficient food over the Christmas period and wanted to be remembered for their kindness to those less fortunate than themselves.

As you can imagine there were many questions that all began with… “Yes, but… “. I did my best to answer them, but for many of them it is still very mysterious as to why people far away would want to help them.

On behalf of all these struggling farm workers, a great big THANK YOU, and the wish that you have a happy and pleasant Christmas.

Wow, Simone, our organic gardener is ecstatic with the response that we have had to our Rent ‘A Plot in Africa’ appeal! You have been wonderfully generous and our vegetable garden is already thriving.

Isn’t it wonderful to rent a plot of fertile vegetable producing land in Africa and know that this little plot feeds children every day all year.

Go and have a look – see if you can find your plot on our Organic Garden page.

Remember, if you are not yet a plot renter, then please join today. All you need do is contact us.
