SNUG AS A BUG IN A RUG

St. Michael's Anglican Church in Umhlanga Rocks took the Milimani Educational Trust and their tiny souls under its wing this winter to appeal for blankets, jerseys, beanies and anything warm.

The response has been overwhelming and Lois Kuhle, from Milimani Educational Trust, took bags of goodies to the communities in Sovane and KwaDla-Kuse.

On the 18th June members of the community were there to meet us and the singing, praying and ululations gave us goose bumps! The kids, with wide brown eyes, were wrapped up, dressed up and kept warm. The joy on the children's faces was a picture - so seldom do they receive anything new.

It was just in time for the cold winter snap that passed through Zululand.

Among all the gifts was a notebook computer. As electricity is not in every home (or any home for that matter) it seemed appropriate to donate it to the clinic. 



We also had a bag full of babies clothes, kindly knitted by the lovely ladies at Twilanga Retirement Village in Umhlanga. Once again the gratitude of the staff was amazing. 

Thank you everyone at St. Michael's for your enormous generosity. These communities in Zululand will remember you for a long time.
