Your generous support has provided thousands of children in South Africa with healthcare, education and child-protection services this year. We can't thank you enough, but these letters from the children say it best:
"Dear Starfsh, I live with my granny and uncle. I am in grade 11 at Chuch School in Yeoville. I am very grateful for the opportunity that you provided for me. Education is the best gift one can ask for. I would like to thank you for this immense gift that changed by life and brought more colour, more hope and more optimism. I have realized that my background doesn't determine my future and I am motivated that I can be anything in life. This gift has made my life better and has really changed the way I see the world. Yours truly, Nombulelo"
"Dear Starfish, I am in grade 4 at NkaThuto School. We are a family of 8 people. I would like to thank Starfish for being part of my life and making sure that my edicational needs are taken care of. My wish is to finish school. Love from Botlhale"
"Dear Starfish,Thanks for everything that you have done for us and thanks for the jersey, book and t-shirt that you brought us and I hope you will continue to help us. Thanks again for everything, you are special people, don't turn your back on us. Thank you, Daweti"
"Dear Starfish, I am 17 years old and I'm currently in grade 11. I wrote this letter to thank you and show my gratitude for providing for my educational needs, and providing me the opportunity that many don't have, which is education. Yours truly, Ellen Khersani"
"Dear Starfish, Thank you for your support, thank you for everything, for the blankets, school bag, school uniform and food. I am so glad to have you, you support me like any parents. Those blankets are so soft and smooth and the school bags you have given me help me put my books safely. Those school uniforms help me to change, and not to have just the one pair to wash and wash. And I thank you for the food you have given me to eat. I am so happy. Thank you for your support again. May God bless you, Zitha Kitso (grade 9)"
