It is freezing! Whoever thought that there would be snow on the mountains around Cape Town. It seems to happen more often than we expect. And yet there it is, on the mountains, like icing sugar on a cake. If you only had a T-shirt and a pair of short pants, and only one pair of good shoes that you don’t wear all the time, then Winters in this part of Africa are tough. You can imagine who thrilled many of our children were when they heard that we were going to kit them out to handle the harsh winter months. Thank you so much for your response to our generous appeal! Our children want to join me in thanking you for looking after them so well and so generously.

Kind regards
Ingrid Lestrade
