During one of our Monday morning team meetings I shared a reading on the power of patience; “For you have need of steadfast patience and endurance, so that you may perform and fully accomplish the will of God, and thus receive and carry away what is promised” Hebrews 10:16. I left the meeting feeling encouraged in the knowledge that to be patient is a powerful action and that I can draw on this power to remain calm in the midst of the many storms that are inevitable in a children’s home.
Of course our definition of a storm would more than likely differ, as would the description of the intensity of the storm, and I have come to learn that sometimes it’s just a storm in a tea cup.
Confirmation from the Department of Social Development of a long awaited and much needed increase to subsidy was welcomed during this past year. Along with this notification was pressure for child and youth care centres throughout KZN to assess their catering and ensure that kitchens and menus are aligned to meet health requirements. Although we have managed to tick the required boxes over the years, our Board decided to make the bold move of securing the services of Ethekwini Caterers to attend to the nutritional needs of our children.

Hi there!
God is good all the time. I will visit soon and I would like to get involved in teaching and mentoring. These kids are precious and are loved by the lord. Great job! God bless you all.
