Stephan

Stephan Lukow, a volunteer from Germany, left us last week after spending almost twelve months assisting I Care in every possible way. He helped with the boys' education, their extra curricular activities including sports. He assisted our office staff with computer problems and helped in the programming of a new data base system. He even took his turn as a driver when necessary. Whatever he did he did with a smile and became one of our most popular volunteers.
The photograph shows Stephan with the gifts he will take back to Germany, along with I Care's good wishes for his future and a request to return soon.

Wits University Students

Last week several Wits University Campus Outreach students came to our Johannesburg Centre to help our I Care boys in every possible way they could. They did a splendid job and as you can see from the happy smiling faces they made friends with the youngsters who now look forward to their next visit. We at I Care add our thanks to those of the boys for a job well done.

Blankets in lieu.



This very kind lady, who prefers to remain anonymous but gives to I Care on a monthly basis, requested blankets for the underpriviledged in lieu of birthday presents for her sixtieth birthday this year.

The result of her generosity is seen here with some of the happy recipients at I Care.

We are all very grateful to her for helping the boys to keep warm this winter.
