Provide nutrition for 500 families in South Africa

Dear friends We love this time of year, as it is a great time to reflect on the months gone by and the people we shared it with. We take special time to remember all of you who contribute to our Nutrition and Wellness program through GlobalGiving. Some of your names are becoming familiar and many of you have contributed anonymously. Our heartfelt gratitude goes to every single one of you! Every year, we have to raise a minimum of $90 000 to sustain our Nutrition program which makes up only one part of our organisation, but it is intertwined with everything else we do. With your help, we have raised $31477 to date which has equated to 11 917 food parcels distributed! Thank you for the huge difference you have made in the lives of our beneficiaries. Every day we have the privilege of seeing your contributions in action. Frail and elderly people come early in the mornings, waiting patiently for something to eat. People who have no other option but to walk far on aching feet to survive another day. Your contributions also reach those who cannot make it to us, people who have become bedridden or simply too weak to walk to the Centre. They are cared for by our Community Health Practitioners, who, in addition to providing medical care, ensure their patients have something to eat to take their medication with. As the year draws to an end, thank you for your kindness and generosity of spirit throughout 2018 and for allowing us the opportunity to put your hard earned contributions to work. Through you, lives have been saved, extended and improved. We hope you get to meet some of the people you saved this year one day! With heartfelt gratitude from all of us in Missionvale, South Africa.
