His first job


One of our older 'boys' has just been offered a job with SA Fasteners. The company had told Anne Slatter when she gave a presentation to them that they were willing to take our older boys into their organisation if there was an interest shown. Nevil, Cedric and Sihle met with them on April 28 and young Sihle started work on the 29th! He is extremely excited at having this chance to earn a living for himself. We thank SA Fasteners for their faith in us and wish young Sihle everything good in his now job

Lucia


Our incredible Outreach Manager - Lucia Shange - gave a talk to the ladies of Umhlali Methodist Church on Thursday, 22 April and Jabulani Mbamba sang, in his beautiful tenor voice, The Twenty Third Psalm. Here is a copy of the letter which Lucia received at the end of the afternoon.

"Our precious Lucia,
You are an angel sent from heaven, not only to brighten the lives of "street children" but to brighten the lives of every single soul who is fortunate to have you cross their path.
May God bless you, abundantly, every moment of every day as you walk in his footsteps.
With love,
Umhlali Methodist W A".

These thoughts are echoed by everyone at I Care and we congratulate Lucia on spreading the word in her own special way.
