Township stories and realities - Mrs Mahlangu

 

Mrs Mahlangu's list had eleven names.

 As of today, 5 of those children have a graded reader of their own.

10 books came in last week: 5 bought through donations at about R30 each, and 2 dropped off by families whose children had outgrown them.

The hardest to find are still the home-language readers.

We now have 6 in isiZulu, 2 in Sesotho and 2 in Setswana. 

Each book gets the child's name written inside the cover and goes home in a school bag, not back on the shelf. 

Every Monday, Mrs Mahlangu checks whether it got read over the weekend.

Help us finish the list. R30 covers one graded reader through the link below. We'll post when the eleventh name is crossed off.

Township stories and realities - Ma Lerato helping

 

On Friday we asked for help with pad packs. By Sunday night, 15 packs had come in.

Some were bought with donations. 

Some were dropped at the kitchen in plastic bags with no names on them.

 This week Ma Lerato and two of the mamas are sorting them into packs.

They'll be handed out quietly, by women the girls already know. 

No photos, no fuss. 

Our target is 50 girls at the reading corner and the primary school down the road. We're at 15.

R60 buys a pack that lasts a girl a few months. Give through the link below, or drop off unopened packs at the kitchen.

Message us for times.

Waiting Well: A Devotional Journey Through Seasons of Faith

 

Waiting Well: A Devotional Journey Through Seasons of Faith

by Selah Grace (Author)

 

Waiting is never wasted when it is placed in God’s hands.
Are you waiting for an answer that hasn’t come yet? For healing, for direction, for provision, for a door to open or a prayer to be answered? Waiting can leave the heart weary, anxious and wondering whether God has forgotten.
Waiting Well is a gentle, Scripture-rooted devotional for anyone walking through a season of uncertainty. In ten short chapters, each grounded in a verse from the King James Bible, you will discover how to:
• Trust God beyond what you can understand
• Find the peace that guards your heart when anxiety rises
• Rest in stillness instead of striving
• Replace fearful thoughts with God’s truth
• Remember who you are in Christ while you wait
• See your waiting season as preparation, not delay
Each chapter includes a devotional reading, reflection questions, a “Selah Moment” (one small, practical step for your week) and a heartfelt prayer you can make your own.
Read it one chapter a day or one a week, on your own or with a small group. It also makes a thoughtful gift for a friend who is waiting on God.
“They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.” — Isaiah 40:31
